Evinrude Model Number Guide

[Ottavia Delamar]

Evinrudechanged how they indicate year in the model number in 1980. Depending on the whether your engine is from before or after that year determins how you will find your Evinrude engine year information.

The first serial number sold in a year becomes the beginning serial number. Serial numbers between that year's beginning serial number and the next fall into the same year. Search for your engine horsepower on the Mercury Mariner serial number year chart located here to find the beginning serial number for the range that includes your engine.

Your Johnson outboard model number can usually be found on the nameplate located on the motor or the mounting bracket. The nameplate should contain a serial number and a model number which will identify the year and - depending on the nameplate type - certain details of that motor and help you obtain the correct handbook, parts and service literature.

Find the serial number or code number. It will be found on the nameplate located on the outboard itself, on the mounting bracket or on the silver core plug on top of the power head. The serial number is typically a mixture of letters and numbers or a series of letters alone.

Decode for an earlier model, if the INTRODUCES code is not fitting. From 1969 to 1980, the year is in the model number by year. For example, a 1976 outboard has a 76 in its model or serial number, such as xxxx76x.

To decode motors 1968 and earlier, go to the Bombardier website for your outboard's year. It is easiest to look up the horsepower and year online. Bombardier acquired OMC and the Johnson and Evinrude brands in 2001.

The small boats are to be used for faculty approved research and teaching in the Indian River Lagoon, Lake Washington, and adjacent waterways. Any graduate student, faculty member or research technician/engineer anticipating the need for a small boat for teaching or research work must first be certified through the Florida Tech procedures and he or she MUST have completed a safe boating course. Those offered by the Power Squadron or Coast Guard Auxiliary are preferred. Online courses, such as those offered at boat-ed.com, are also acceptable. This is to allow for safe, effective use of vessels and ensure reasonable care of school equipment.

To reserve a small boat, contact Tim Fletcher (321-674-8930 / tfle...@fit.edu). Marine Operations Manager to check on boat availability at least 24 hours in advance. You must fill out a Small Boat Request form, have it approved by your faculty advisor or proper authorized person and present it to the Marine Operations Office located at the Anchorage facility prior to your trip.

You may gain access to the small boat supplies on the day of your trip or on Friday (for weekend trips) by obtaining the key from the Marine Operations Office during work hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Should your work involve the handling of nets (otter, trawl, plankton or seine), your boat must display a Florida Tech sign and you will need to have on board an appropriate permit authorizing your activities. You are also required to have on board a chart of the area being navigated, a GPS receiver and a cellular telephone.

Users are required to provide fuel. Most of the 2 stroke models are equipped with Evinrude ETEC 2 stroke engines and require XD-100 2 stroke oil ONLY to be poured into separate, on board oil tanks. Marine Operations will ensure an adequate supply of XD-100 is on board prior to your trip. Failure to use the proper oil with Evinrude ETEC equipped models will result in catastrophic engine failure and costly repairs. For non-ETEC models, any reputable brand of 2 stroke oil with a TCW-3 rating is acceptable

Each boat is equipped with enough life jackets (one per person) to meet the USCG maximum occupancy rating, fire extinguishers, anchors with rode (line), first aid kits, oars (one required per boat), flares/signal kits, whistles, vessel registration and throwable (type 4) PFDs. Lights are also to be carried and used after dark, or in restricted visibility (rain, fog, etc).

If the destination is of some distance, it is more practical to trailer your boat to your site. Procedures for pulling trailers will be covered during your check-out. When the boat is to be trailered, it should not be loaded with gear and speed should not exceed 50 mph.

The gas tank should be placed in the bottom of the boat near the rear seat. Ensure that the fuel line is securely engaged to the fuel connector fitting. To lower the engine from the tilted position on manual tilt models, you must push the tilt-run lever into the run position; pull the engine up to unlock and then lower into the water. Leave the tilt-run lever in the run position while operating your boat. When operating at slow speeds in shallow waters, the tilt-run lever should be lifted into the tilt position. This reduces engine damage in the event of grounding.

Before starting the engine, set the shift arm in the vertical-neutral position. Squeeze the bulb on the gas line until gas will no longer pump freely (do not over-squeeze). Lower the engine into the water and turn the key. Allow the engine to warm up. Be particularly alert in Crane Creek for manatees, and observe the no-wake law inside Melbourne Harbor .

Life jackets can be stored underneath the seat during your trip. You are required to have one Type-I life preserver for each passenger and one Type-IV life preserver for each boat, it is your responsibility to ensure they are onboard prior to departure. Do not use them as seat cushions. The anchor line can be attached to the forward bow cleat. The fire extinguishers should be stored securely. Vessel registration forms are located in the flotation/storage devices attached to each key chain.

Florida Tech's liability insurance covers Florida Tech-certified small boat operations while operating properly equipped boats, in compliance with State and Federal regulations. Negligent or reckless operation may void that coverage and, without question, leave the operator open to personal liability.

It is our intention to support the research and teaching needs of students and faculty to the greatest reasonable degree. Safe, efficient operation will require cooperation, observance of Federal and State Law, and recognition of the potential for disaster involved in marine operations. Failure to follow these guidelines or to exercise prudence may result in the loss of boating privileges.

No question as to the sufficiency of the evidence is raised. Appellant, Garland Wayne Copeland and Leon Deryl Pinkston were found in possession of a 33 horse-power *636 Evinrude outboard motor of the value of over $50 about 4:30 in the morning of September 23, 1971. The outboard motor proved to have been stolen from the possession of E. G. T. Bates on that night, having been taken from a barge on Lake Arlington.

Appellant and his two companions were observed by Officer Larry Wayne Robertson of the Arlington Police Department in a Mustang automobile, which was stuck in the mud, near the lake shore, moving slowly toward the roadway. As it pulled onto the roadway, Officer Robertson stopped the car to see "what it was doing down there near the boat docks" where there were a number of boats kept. The Mustang was very muddy, and was sitting very low as if it had a heavy load in the back of it. The officer noticed muddy hand prints on the trunk area, and on the rear bumper area there appeared to be mud and sand running out of the trunk lid onto the bumper and on the ground.

The officer approached the car on the driver's side and asked the three male occupants for identification. The driver was Copeland, who showed Robertson a "mug" shot with a number on it, showing it was from the Louisiana State Penitentiary, and said he had been out of the penitentiary three months before. He said the car belonged to his mother, that he and the other two had gone fishing, but the officer could not see any fishing poles, gear or equipment. Officer Robertson testified:

The three occupants of the car, one of whom was appellant, were asked to get out of the car. Officer Seals arrived in response to a radio call. When the three men got out of the car, they were wet and muddy to the waist. In the meantime, Sgt. Dan Martin of the Arlington Police also arrived.

The Evinrude motor was identified by the owner E. G. T. Bates. It had the shipping cable, the throttle cable, the electrical cable and the steering cables cut. The remainder of those cables were on the barge from which the motor had been removed.

On his motion to suppress he testified that he did not give his consent to search the automobile. He did not claim coercion or in any manner raise an issue as to the involuntary nature of the consent testified to by Officer Robertson.

Appellant objected to evidence as to the Evinrude outboard motor found in the trunk of the Mustang occupied by himself, Copeland and Pinkston on the ground of an unlawful search and seizure. At the conclusion of a hearing outside the presence of the jury, the trial court found that the officer lawfully stopped the Mustang to make an investigation, that he lawfully made an arrest under Art. 14.03, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P., that permission was granted to search the automobile, and denied the motion to suppress.

Appellant complains that the court erred in not charging the jury that, if they had a reasonable doubt that any evidence was obtained by an unwarranted or unreasonable search, the jury should not use it against appellant.
