      I recently purchased this engine. I was trying to find out general info about it.

      Is it supposed to have side covers?

        There is a good article on the 1940 model 469 in the July 1983 Outboarder. It has no shroud on it. The 1940 model is Evinrude number 8812 on the brass welch plug. The 1939 model is 8809 and may be different somehow. Yours may be missing the sn tag on the pivot casting.

          Yeah mine is missing the tag. How do you get a magazine that old?

            They did come with covers.

            Some back issues are still available to club members.
            If you are a member look in the back of the Outboarder.
            I checked and the July 83 issue is sold out.
            October 83 is still available.

            A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

                There seems to be a lot of conflicting information about these outboards regarding side pieces.
                Is there anyone who has this exact model? The one pictured doesn’t have the same handle even.

                I would like to see that "July 1983 Outboarder" about this engine.

                  Per the article in the October 2003 Antique Outboarder, the first two years of production 1938 & 1939 did not have the
                  Side pieces (Chipmunk Cheeks) The side pieces were added on the 1940 model through end of production in 1946.

                      I bought a box full of old Antique Outboarder magazine at Great Lakes last Dry meet on 10/15/16
                      Ask some of the guys in your chapter or other meets if they have any for sale? I paid $1.00 a copy.

                      Good Luck,

                        There is no Oklahoma Chapter, guess I’m out of luck. Maybe I can find something on eBay.

                        I thought about starting an Oklahoma Chapter but there is only three AOMCI members in the state.
