Both the ’53 & ’54 have the Sea Horse cast into the exhaust housing. Are you sure you don’t have a ’53? I will look at my books tonight, but I think you may have a ’53 there. I won’t have as many parts for the ’53, but will help whereever I can.

What’s the difference between the two years?
I’ll double-check as soon as I can, but I’m still shooting in the dark somewhat.

1953 QD-14 has a front shifter, totally different block, carb, and hood.
I think most everything else between the two motors are the same including the recoil, lower unit, throttle handle, transom clamps, mid-section, embossed Sea-Horse logo.
