Don’t you have a title for the motor?

I think IL is like MN - we title boats, we title trailers...what motor you have on it, so long as the boat is rated for it, is inconsequential...ergo: no title for motors.

google search says 1985?  https://www.boats.net/catalog/evinrude/outboard-by-year/1985/e15rcob  Could that be correct?

Motor is not titled, just the boat and the trailer.

It's a 15hp and I believe it's from the 60's but not sure. I bought the motor maybe 15 years ago by itself, without the boat.

If you can locate the model number...you can determine the year from the model number.

It something like the 7th and 8th digits...and there coded. Its a little weird.

How Do I Determine the Year of My Evinrude Outboard?

Should be a 15hp, 1985 model.  OEM only show 8" and 10" aluminum and 9" Stainless.

Thanks for the link. I have a 7 character model number the link is for an 8 or 9 character model number.

Google says 1985 as well.

If this is the incorrect prop, what would determine if it should be an 8" or 10"?

[Way2slow]

If you are running it on a boat rated for a 15hp or one that is not extra large, I would stick with the 10".  If used for something like a pusher motor on a large sail boat or something way larger than a 15 would normally be used on, I would go with the 8.  I've seen people put 15's on a 15/16 foot bass boat used on hp restricted lakes, something like that, you would want the 8.

A quick shout out to Tacoma Propeller. I spoke with an extremely friendly young lady. We confirmed via phone the correct prop is the 9-1/2x10 13 spline. It was in stock, and she shipped it out today.

Don’t you love it when you encounter helpful employees??

Helpful and friendly. I spoke with her this morning. She asked if I had the prop with me. I told her I had it at home. She said to count the splines and call her back. I called back when I got home from work. Fortunate for me, Tacoma is 2 hours behind Chicago time. She still had her notes from our conservation earlier in the day. Double checked everything and we placed the order

 

I'm in the parts business. A good parts guy/gal is hard to find. I hear complaints all day long about other hvac/r supply houses. I'm a step above the rest. The proof is in my sales numbers.

 

When I was trying to get bearings for the 40 year old trailer, I went to 3 auto parts stores. They could get the bearings, can't get the seals or vice versa. Guy at O'Reilly's found the bearings and seals sold as a set on Amazon. Printed the page and handed it to me. Said it would take a week or longer for him to get them and it would cost more than on Amazon. I stopped going to NAPA and Auto Zone. O'Reilly's gets my auto parts business now.

I love someone that can sort all that out! If left to my own devices, I would get the wrong part 75% of the time

It's a tough business. If I hook you up with the wrong part, what are the chances you'll come back? 99% of my business is commercial and industrial hvac/r. Mistakes are very costly.
