I just bought an old 60's OMC 2 cyl and want to know year and HP. Is there a web site that can provide that info. Thanks.

One easy source for model years is "Ken Cooks" lititure warehouse. They supply all the outdated OMC manuals. I have attachted the address for the johnson motors manuals by model year hear.You will have to bruse the site for Evinrude models. Good luck.

You are the proud owner of a 1964 40hp Evinrude short shaft.

Use Model # 40453S when ordering parts and IDing motor.
