Hello Artem,
Congratulations on your nice original find. I share Joe’s opinion on the Year of the motor being 1912.
As rare as it is to find a 1912 you are really lucky to find one with the correct pieces not broken, repaired
or replaced with a part from a different year as parts for the early Evinrudes are not readily available.
At quick glance the gear case on the 1912 & 1913 look the same minus the skeg.
You mentioned you have a 1913 as well, providing it has the correct gear case place the two side by side
and you will find the 1913 not only will it have a skeg the casting will be larger in size it will have three
Screws mounting the rear bearing carrier. The one on the 1912 would be smaller with two screws.
I agree with Gary you should be able to get transom screw pads from Art.
As far as the plug I use a Champion X in my 1910, 1911 and 1912 with success.
In regards to the tiller handle for the 1912 the correct fitting handle is thin in profile.
use caution when searching for one as there are some reproductions floating around out there
That are thicker in profile and will not clear the bottom of the cylinder with out heavy modification
to the handle. Try to avoid the temptation of trying to bend the tiller yoke to get a thicker handle to clear
The bottom of the cylinder as it will snap off with little effort.
Enjoy your new find,
Respectfully,
