Reading several posts I understand knowing the model number can be important. Unfortunately the Evinrude 9.5 that came on a boat I purchased recently has had the serial / model plate removed. I read some where the model / serial number could also be stampled on the freeze plug. Either it is not on my motor or I am not looking at a freeze plug.
I have tried to narrow down the possibilities indirectly, like the sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/OMC_9.5. It is claimed here that only years 67-73 motors have an idle adjuster knob on the tiller handle. Mine has the adjuser knob. The upper cowling latch was moved to the lower rear in 66, and mine is in the lower rear, also eliminating 64 and 65 years.
Please give me any suggestions you might know of and a picture (like the freeze plug) would be appreciated.
Thanks
