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.


Parts get switched around over the years and there is that possibility with the motor you are looking at. Although the same inside, the 4263 Evinrude Mate was a bit more stylish than its cousin, the 4264 Elto Cub. The Mate had side covers while the Cub was open with an exposed fuel tank, similar to the Pal.


The Elto Cub cost $29.50 in 1941, the Evinrude Mate was $34.50. More Cubs were sold plus some Mate owners lost covers. This made Cubs more common and Mates more valuable. Many collectors put Mate covers on Cubs to increase there value. No Mate or Cub production numbers survived World War Two. The parts books just grouped them together. All three years books are exactly the same. . . ?

Mercury 2 Stroke Outboards & the Optimax

Mercury Marine has been producing outboard motors for 75 years which encompasses many very important innovations to the marine industry. Based on this history the Mercury name itself is associated to outboard motors much like Kleenex is to tissue. Looking back 69 years to 1948 this is when the initial modern era outboard motor was introduced by Mercury Marine. This 2 stroke outboard was offered in an inline 4 cylinder configuration and offered an entirely new level of performance and durability. However, just 6 short years later they introduced the first 2 stroke outboard motor that boasted having 1 Hp per Cubic Inch of engine displacement. The sister engine to the 40 Hp was the first 6 cylinder 60 Hp outboard which was considered by many to be the most powerful outboard of it's time. Fast forwarding 40 years marked another milestone for Mercury Marine when they introduced the first 3.0L displacement outboard when hit the scales at 225 Hp.


Fast forward to the early 1990's and outboard motor emissions were becoming a dominating conversation within the Marine Industry. The conversation hinged around whether or not 2 stroke outboard motors were even capable of meeting the desired emissions standards being discussed. Around 1996 Mercury Marine introduced the Direct Fuel Injected (DFI) Optimax line of 2 stroke outboards which were developed using a technology co-developed along with an Australian company named Orbital.


Mercury 4 Stroke Outboards & the Verado

Although most of the visible focus between the mid 1990's and mid 2000's was dedicated towards the 2 stroke outboards, there was significant work being done behind the scenes to develop Mercury Marine's long-term strategy towards their 4 stroke outboard lineup. While most other outboard manufacturers were developing larger displacement, heavier outboard motors Mercury was concerned that the weight would be something 2 stroke customers would not be willing to compromise on. Especially with Bass Boat customers the power to weight advantages of the 2 stroke outboards was the most critical characteristic they considered when comparing outboard motors in general. Over the next several years Mercury focused on developing their 200 Hp - 300 Hp outboard lineup utilizing smaller displacement, inline 6 cylinder super charged line of 4 stroke outboard motors. This outboard platform was specifically aimed at targeting the undesirable power to weight issue with most 4 cycle outboards. The Verado Outboard lineup was released in 2004 and is still in production today with the 350 Hp version being released in 2015 not to be outdone by the 400 Hp Verado released in 2016.


Today advancement in engine technology has progressed exponentially since the mid 1990's and is now allowing outboard manufacturers to take advantage of technologies which are allowing them to produce even smaller and lighter naturally aspirated 4 stroke outboards.


It will be interesting to see what the future holds as the overall outboard boating market been trending towards even more powerful, and bigger 4 stroke outboard motors. Today Yamaha offers a large displacement 350 Hp outboard and Seven7Marine is offering a 627 Hp outboard. It's safe to assume that Mercury Marine is likely developing a larger displacement 4 stroke outboard to take the place of the Verado Outboard Model Lineup.
