In 1963, my dad bought a 14-foot Starcraft rowboat. The boat came with a brand-new Scott Mc Culloch “ Scotty” 3.5 horsepower outboard motor. We spent many a summer day driving that boat all over Eagles Nest Lake 2, southwest of Ely, where our family had a lake cabin. After 12 years, our Scotty gave up the ghost. I remember dad endlessly yanking on the starter rope, but it was hopeless. Scotty just wouldn’t start. Instead of having it repaired, dad decided to get a new motor. Back then the best place to trade your old motor was Twin City Outboard at Nicollet Avenue S. and 33rd Street in Minneapolis. Dad sold them the Scotty motor, and off we went to Sears for a new outboard. We didn’t have enough money for an Evinrude or a Chrysler, so dad settled on an inexpensive Sears Gamefisher 7.5 horsepower motor — a truly horrible unit that gave us no end of trouble. When my father died in 2012, I bought the family cabin and embarked upon a huge refurbishment program. My wife has a fabulous eye for decorating and wanted to find an old Scott motor (identical to our original) and have it displayed in the living room. But we soon learned these motors are very rare. Twin City Outboard moved to Shakopee in 1995, taking more than two years to move its stock of hundreds of vintage outboards to the new location. I called in 2012 and again in 2013, but the owner, Mark Hansen, told me they didn’t have the Scotty I was looking for. I’m not sure why, but I decided to try Twin City Outboard again this spring. I must have caught Hansen on a slow day, because he took plenty of time to look through his storage building. Twenty-five minutes later, Hansen emerged with a dirty, beat-up old motor that looked like it had been salvaged from the boiler room of the Titanic. I looked it over and noted which parts were missing, but it was indeed the one I was looking for. I wrote down the model and serial.
A: Quick Answer Honda Marine provides information about the year an outboard motor was built through the serial numbers of motors manufactured between 19 To determine if your model was made during or after those years, you can match two letters embedded into the serial number with a corresponding year on a chart. Know More Full Answer Locate the serial number Look around the side of the outboard, just below the widest top part of the motor. If you cannot locate it, call a Honda Marine dealer for assistance. Find the two-digit letter or letter and number combination around the middle of the sequence, just after a number that corresponds to the horsepower of the engine. For example, if your serial number has the following format: XX25 A3 XXXX, 25 indicates the horsepower amount, and A3 indicates the year built. Find a chart Check iboats.com to decipher your serial number. Match your number Specific two-digit letter and number combinations match respective years between 19 As of 2014, DK or AK indicates anything made in 2007 or beyond. Motors with letters or numbers that don't have a match were made before 1997. Learn more about.
Outboard Troubles Noticed the oil in my Honda 130hp 4 stroke was getting a bit too light in color last month. So I changed it, and of course the filter. Guess I was hoping (dreaming?) that it was mearly condensation for setting a couple months over the winter/spring. Anyhow, the problem remains. It not only looks like mocha coffee, but it has the whip cream too. Needless to say, I pulled the boat out of the water, rather than going fishing again. Took it to the local shop to have it checked out. But basically I already know these Hondas, in my serial number range, have an issue with cracked water passages. Honda of US was very good about replacing the entire powerhead, even if out of warranty. Unfortunately, this engine was bought in Canada ( Whitehorse I believe) and Honda of Canada does not recognize this problem and refuses to help. Guess I was lucky it ran as long as it did. It's a '97 model and has over 1300 hours. I'll await the official word, but now I'm thinking it's time for a new engine. The 130hp was a bit weak when the boat was loaded up to max anyhow, so at a minimum I'm going to move up to a Honda 150hp. They are actually about 30lbs lighter, and put out more like 160hp. My controls and guages will work. Also been looking into the newish Suzuki 175hp. They are even lighter, and swing a 16 prop which has a good reputation for speed and economy. But I'd need to spend another 00 in controls and guages. I've got 2 weeks to decide, as I'm in the airport headed north to work. Simple minds discuss people, Average minds discuss things, and Great minds discuss ideas. Yes that is water infiltrated oil. It does make a nice oil merange pie though. Doesn't it warm your heart when a manufacturer stands behind their product. Or doesn't Brian, though the motor is a rs, I would be really choked if I found myself in this situation. 1300 hrs. is not.
( Source of Information: Field Service Clinic Manual 6166, Form No. ) In the 1950s, Clinton Corporation developed a system of identification of its engines. The basis of this system of identification begins with the nameplate, which was permanently attached to each Clinton engine at the factory. The reference for all service and repair on Clinton engines will be found on this nameplate. It is very important that the plate remain with the engine. Should it ever become necessary to replace that part of an engine to which the nameplate is attached, make certain to remove the plate and place it on the new part. Listed on this page is additional information regarding the Name Plate as a key to service. Three basic pieces of information are needed from the engine nameplate to locate the parts needed in the sales-service manual. Fig. 1 Model Number Variation Number Type Letter 1. How To Find Model ( See Figure 1) The model number (e.g., B-7xx) of your engine is found on the nameplate. Then, by turning to Section 11, Division B-700, you will find the Basic Parts List. For example, if the model number is D-1160, you would turn to Section II, Div. D-1100, etc. In some cases, the model will be shown as D-700-2xxx, which would be the D-7001000 Series or D Series with model variations shown in the last three digits. 2. Variation Numbers One thing to keep in mind when working with the Clinton manual is that all models are set up in numerical and alphabetical sequence. The model is further identified by the last TWO figures in the model designation number, e.g., B-760, and is sometimes followed by additional letters or numbers. All recent models and future production will have numbers only following the basic model number. The lettering system has been discontinued. Due to varied employment of many series, there may be a large number of models. A complete list of.
