Evinrude Fisherman year question

[C123]

What year??? I am thinking a couple of motors went into making this old one I have. The serial number is 6202DJ014 939

I am going to get this one going for the kids to drive around and wanted to get all the original parts for it. Thanks!

1972 6 hp. Great engine and plenty of parts available.

A 1972 model.-----I have more than a dozen of these 6 HP motors from 66 to 79.-----These are the finest fishing motors made.-----Easier to get the parts than for some newer motors.----Pull flywheel and inspect coils.----Inspect thermostat ( often see them stuck open ) on top of cylinder head.-----Install new water pump impeller.

Does anyone know a prop replacement or (even a link to) that I should buy? Thanks!!!

Well I just checked on this website, ouch! $235 for a prop! I don't think so. Look on ebay. Pretty sure that prop fits on early 60's 5.5hp and 6 hp with pin drive

Thanks, that is what I found, has to be cheaper than that somewhere..

The 1954 to 1965 CD models have a different prop then the 66 to 79 models.

The one on ebay is a 1969, it will work
