"I have a 1972 6202D Evinrude Fisherman 6hp. Would anyone have any idea the amount of Watts this engine would put out. Working on todays engines a 6hp engine puts out about 4,500 watts. Is this the same for a 1972 engine? Does anyone have a manual that could look this up for me please?"
 
Normally they us KW (Kilo

Normally they us KW (Kilo Watts).
1 KW is 1.36 HP (DIN)
That old engine is 'power head rated' and not prop-shaft rated. Multiply with about 0.92 and you get the nominal prop shaft rating similar to to- days engines.
On the other hand a 4 Hp engine with a good prop may do better than a 6 with a bad prop!!
