Hi, I purchased a boat and motor for my son, 14 mckee craft with a 35 hp electric start omc motor, the number off the block reads 35E76G E4460609, what year motor is this, it was rebuilt wit 118 psi and 120 psi on the cylinders! Is this a good year motor, Paid 1700 for boat motor and trailer, Odd thing the boat has a bottom brass drain plug on it, aftermarket ? Thanks for any replys

That's a 1976. Pretty good engine.

Re: johnson year

My Keys West Flats came from the factory with the brass drain plug so its probably factory.

Get a couple of them because they are easy to misplace and I found that putting a little "GE Clear Silicone" on the threads stops it from leaking and over time, it will start to leak a little. Nothing big, but I like me bilge dry.... TOTALLY dry all the time!
