Re: need info badly

None of those numbers is of any help ... you need to find the model # ... normally located on a plate on the transom bracket. Here's a link to a page showing all the model #'s for all Evinrude 6hp motors built from 1965 to 1997 ... http://web.archive.org/web/20020215164038/www.evinrude.com/docktalk/modref/evmodyr/EHP6.html

Re: need info badly

Model and serial number are usually on a plate on the left (port side) transom bracket of the motor. If there is none there, you should try to post a picture.

Re: need info badly

those are the only numbers that i cud find. my wife and i spent 3 hours today lookin for the model and serial number. we had no luck at all. we found a number on the clamp bracket underneath where it pivots not to sure about it tho. its either 310201 or 31c2c1. theres no tags what so ever on the motor, cudnt even find a number on the plug on top of the head. Im not a 100% positive its a 6hp thats just what i was told from the guy i bought it from.

look for a small aluminum welch plug about the size of a quarter on the powerhead. This should have the model and serial numbers on it.

The powerhead is not just the head; it includes the cylinder and crankcase area.

See the round socket where the serial number plug used to be on this motor? That is what you are looking for, but hopefully with the plug still in. The actual location varies with the motor, but it is there somewhere.

They don't just fall out. If the numbers tag is missing off the stern bracket and the welsh plug is missing off the powerhead, it is pretty well a good assumption that it is a stolen motor. Thieves know all about the numbers locations. Unless they are a newbe in the profession.

Re: need info badly

i dnt think the motors stolen it came from an old man that said hes had it for years, idk. that pic that u have of the plug, on my motor its recesed and dont look like a normal plug. so theres no way to figure out waht year and hp motor i have without those numbers?
