I can tell you it's a 1975 70 HP 2 Cylinder Evinrude.

OK, I figured it was mid- '70s. It is a 3 cylinder motor however.<br /><br /> Does anyone know if the steering tilt tube is reversible? The boat this motor is on has stick steering so the hookup is on the port side. Can this be reversed? If so, how much trouble is this?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Shane
