Need help idendifying evinrude

[sunbird1]

I have an o/b model number: VE14RCCS Serial# H1843344.<br /><br />I know it is a 1988 14hp, but what do the other letters mean? Specifically the V, R and S. I am trying to sell this engine for my dad and need to give someone the specifics.<br /><br />thanks

Re: Need help idendifying evinrude

do any of the letters indicate if it is a long or short shaft?

Re: Need help idendifying evinrude

It is a 15" shaft.<br />If it was a long shaft (20") the model number would read VE14RLCCS.<br /><br />V E 14 R CC S<br />V=Boat builder<br />E=Evinrude<br />14=Horsepower<br />R=Rope start<br />CC=Year built 1988 <br />S=Model Run or Suffix<br /><br />Check this:<br /> http://www.marinshopen.se/guide/omc/omc8098.htm

thanks,<br /><br />I knew there was a sight that explained the breakdown, but I couldn't find it.
