As a guy just trying to learn and chase a dream I got myself into a bit of a head scratcher. I was recently passed along my grandfathers evinrude. As anybody would I checked the data plate pulled up the information a good to go. That was until I started looking into the parts diagrams and found the 1983 evinrude 25hp standard shaft motor was a lie. Years ago the transom mount must’ve broke and my grandpa replaced it with one that worked. He surprisingly didn’t bring the data plate over. As I continue to dig through all the resources and forums and references I can online can anybody help me try to understand this?
Information I do know:
2 stroke
15” shaft
1969-1978 (closest estimate I got from service techs)
Electric start
Tiller
Freeze plug marked : E3597774
Freeze plug has a “M” stamped on it as well.
Pin drive propeller
ill attach a bunch of pictures but please keep in mind my grandfather painted and made some “custom” modifications.
