Vintage McCulloch Outboard Info

[amy-clueless]

I recently acquired a McCulloch 45 hp outboard motor to consign for a gentleman. Unfortunately the only information I have on it is the serial number. I’ve been searching the internet with no success trying to find a way to get any information I can about it’s details/specs/value using the serial number. Any advice from you fabulous experts would be more than appreciated!!

Thanks in advance,
Amy (IA)

If you can post the model and serial numbers here, that would be a big help.

It’s probably all going to come down to condition.
Appearance, mechanicals, good compression, etc.
Not sure how much of a "following" the McCulloch’s have,
so other’s will have a better idea on "worth".
Does it look like this one?

Yes, that’s the one!!!

The serial number is 65304531
Only info I was verbally given as far as condition was that it runs and has "low hours". They did not, however, have an estimate on their definition of low hours

It is a 1965 motor

Oh my goodness, y’all made this seem easy! Thanks so much! I do always like an opportunity to learn new things though so I have to ask, did you just happen to know the year? Or is there a significance of the serial number, or possibly even a place to look them up? I’ll take any beginner tips for dummies you’re kind enough to take them to educate me with for future projects!!

The model number identifies it as a ’65 45 horse with electric start. Discount Marine should have any necessary parts needed for it.

Well, I could pretend to be that smart, but I’m not. It just so happens that the first two numbers in the serial indicate the year. But I didn’t know that. I Iooked it up at http://www.discount-marine-parts.com
