quote Dan in TN:
I don’t know much about SA or Mercs, but I agree with jpatti75 except I think it does have the place for the thumb screws? They are just missing. I was thinking by 1955 the bosses for the thumb screws were gone? I originally thought the accent stripe was silver, but after you mentioned it Im not sure either. I’m still betting on 1954.

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear in my description …. it does indeed have the holes for the thumb screws, I was just saying that the thumb screws themselves weren’t there.
As for the additional cowls….
1958 Evinrude Fisherman
1955 Mercury Mark 6
1957-58 Mercury Mark 10 (no differences in the cowlings between the two years. Would need the S/N of the motor to know for sure.)
