None of my sources recognise that model number, Custom, for a Johnson or Evinrude.<br /><br />A pre 1970 Johnson Sea Horse will have a model number that starts with two letters, like TD or TN for example. After that the model numbers start Jnn (the nn is numbers)<br /><br />Have another look.

My bad. I must have been tired when i wrote them down. Here are some more logical numers.<br />SER-525713<br />MQD-TD20

Ah, the venerable TD-20!<br />5hp made between '46 and '49 and pretty well indestructible. <br />Your S/N indicates it was built in '46. Fuel/Oil mix is 24:1 (use 87 octane gas and TC-W3 rated outboard oil). Ignition system is pretty reliable and different from later 5.5hp outboards. Also, the water pump is very different from a regular outboard.<br />WOT RPMS = 4000<br />Displacement = 8.84 cubic inches<br />Weight = 44lbs<br />Spark plug = Champion J6C (J6J is no longer available)<br />List price = $154<br /> Brochure, click here. <br /><br />Need anything specific?
