Looking for yr & model - Evinrude Fisherman 6

[peatzj]

Just came across this forum on the web, looks like I've just found a great source for info! <br /><br />I'm about to do some maintenance on a small outboard, but before I start I'd like to get a manual to avoid RTFM situations. However, I need a model and year before I can buy something...<br /><br />There is no exact model and year mentioned on the engine. The serial number: 6102E B 21808 is on the mounting bracket. There is also a number on the side of the cylinder assembly: 64B67C B 02796.<br /><br />Could anyone tell me what model and year this engine is? Any suggestions on good (general?) manuals also appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks, have nice weekend, <br />PJ

Huh - it looks like you have a '71 6hp with a '74 6hp engine in it. <br />Model number 6102E is a '71<br />Model number 64B67C is a '74 (It's an odd model number too, I think it was only used overseas)<br />Notice how the serial numbers (B21808 on the nameplate and B02796 on the Welsh Plug, the name for that silver disc shaped thing) also don't match.<br />Does the engine paint match the rest of the outboard?<br /><br />You can get a good generic manual from Iboats, or you can get a more expensive but technically superior OEM manual from one of the following places:<br />TheOutboardWizard<br />Mastertech<br />Marine Engine<br />Ken Cook <br /><br />The generic Seloc one covers '71 - '89 so it should cover both your engines. If you have to choose a single OEM manual, go with the '74 one.<br />Good luck with it! And welcome to Iboats!

Thanks Paul, <br /><br />Hmmm, to be honest I'm not surprised it's turning out to be a bit of a mix. Now that you mention, the last owner told me something about some parts having been exchanged from (at least..) one other block.<br /><br />I'll go with '74! The number was indeed on the silver disc. I'll check the paint job. And yes: overseas, I'm located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.<br /><br />You guys know your stuff, thanks for the info so far!<br /><br />PJ
