Evinrude Fleetwin

[tfrank]

I have an Evinrude Fleetwin motor that I would like some info on such as year model,value and also would like to know where I could find an owners manual. The numbers on the motor are 4443 30273. Thanks!

Welcome to iboats, tfrank!<br />Evinrude model 4443<br />Year 1951 - 52<br />HP: 7.5<br />WOT RPMS: 4000<br />Displacement: 12.4 cu.in. = 203.2 ccm<br />Cylinders: 2<br />Weight: 47 lbs. = 21.3 Kg<br />Lower unit ratio: 13:20<br />Spark plugs: Champion J6C gapped at .030" (J6J is no longer available)<br />Fuelil mix: 24:1 87 octane gas to TC-W3 rated outboard oil. Forget about SAE 30.<br /> Picture, '51<br />Picture, '52<br />From the Old OMC Site<br /> <br />Stick with that fuel/oil mix and never rev the engine in neutral. It's a good motor, but those had a reputation for throwing connecting rods if abused. I'm not good with prices, but I don't exepect you'll fetch antique prices with that outboard. Normally they need to be older.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />EDIT: You can get an owners manual from Ken Cook Inc. but I suggest you get the service manual instead. It's far more helpful.

I've got a '54 7.5 with tank. I'll be selling in spring. Mine runs very well. Been repainted to white(?).<br /><br />I don't expect to get more than $200 with pressure tank and a good runner.<br /><br />Joe
