" I bought a 1970 evinrude sportfisherman

I need to figure out exactly what engine it is so I can purchase parts. I have tried some online sources for casting numbers, but have not found my numbers. I think it is a GM motor. Straight 4 cyclinder. Head takes the flat plugs, rather than the beveled plugs. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe the casting numbers are 3937746 "

"Skip,

Is there a model number for the engine on the nameplate on the transom bracket?

We have an online list of year and model numbers for pre-1980 Evinrudes here.

" Andrew,

Thank-you for qui

" Andrew,

Thank-you for quickly answering. I am new at boat owning. I have found two nameplates with model and serial numbers on it. The plate says to reference these numbers when ordering parts. One is on the back wall of the seating compartment next to the capacity rating, and the other is on the back wall of the engine compartment. Is this the tags I need to be looking at?

Thanks,
Skip "

" Skip,

My mistake.... I saw 1970 Evinrude Sportfisherman and assumed that you had an outboard motor. I think what you are saying is that it is a 1970 Evinrude boat with a 4 cylinder GM inboard or inboard/outboard engine. Is that correct? If so there should be a nameplate on the engine with a model number and the name of the company that "marinized" the engine. Look for it and post the info here.

We can also supply manuals for most of the Evinrude boats if you need one. I would need the length and model number of the boat (that is probably on one of the tags that you already found).

If in doubt post all the tag info and we can probably figure it out.

Regards,
Andrew "

Model # 0047010

I greatly appreciate all your doing, and I will be in touch for some manuals sooner or later.

" I needed to rebuild the carb

" I needed to rebuild the carbs on this engine. I took one to my local Napa.
So between your info, and the tewnty minutes of digging, I believe I have determined what the motor is.
1969 (engine code, closness of model numbers you provided, info at napa said '63 - '71 OMC)
120hp (title, info you provided, info at napa said 120hp only one with dual carbs)

So it's an 120hp L4 OMC.

I just have one question, is this a I/0, or a stern drive? What is the difference?

Thanks again for all the information.

"Skip,

Glad you found what you needed.

Inboard/Outboard and Sterndrive are just two names for the same thing. An inboard engine with a through transom tilting and steering drive unit.

OMC Sterndrive manuals pre-1980.

" I just purchased an older mo

" I just purchased an older model Mercruiser complete package. Engine and I/O
the fellow I bought it from has no idea of the year of manufacture, horse power etc.
The only I.D. I have found is a number cast in the engine block(near the starter). Would you be able to I.D. the unit(s) from this number ?
The engine is a 4 cylinder G.M. (Mercruiser) with a two barrel carb. The number on the block is 2770087 255 86
Your help would be very much appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.

" Leonard,

There should be

" Leonard,

There should be a nameplate on the engine with a Mercury serial number. Most Mercury products are identifiable from the serial number.

Maybe someone can help you with that casting number on the block... but I don't have a way of referencing from them.

Regards,
Andrew "
 
" Thank Andrew
I have searche

" Thank Andrew
I have searched the engine for I.D. plates again but there are no other marking other than the casting number. The only other thing I found on the casting was "Made in Mexico" which may indicate that it is a Chevy Cavelier block.
Thanks again for your reply, I hope that someone out there can identify this package or at least the engine.
Leonard. "
 
I have two questions regardin

I have two questions regarding a mercruiser/ I.O unit.
1- When installing the engine to the transom plate (engine mount) the manual specifies 2 fibre washers and two 'special' split washers. Are these necessary ? and what is the purpose ?

2- What is the distance from the I/O anti cav. plate to the keel of the boat ? Am I correct with 1 inch ?
How critical is this distance ?

I appreciate any info. Thanks and regards Leonard

"Dan,

This question should be in the Johnson/Evinrude section, not the inboard and sterndrive section.

That model is a 1981. The "CI" is "1981 model year".

The model is probably E8RCIC not EBRCIC."
