Re: 1911 RBM

[RICK EICHRODT]

I am sure that I will be quickly corrected and I will be dragged behind an old mule and beaten with reeds! I do not think that it is a 1911 but a 1912. From my simple mind, I believe that the 1910 and 1911’s did not have any script on the exhaust manifold and the lower unit did not have an adjusting thrust screw on the front of the lower unit to adjust the gear lash. Also the numbers on the tag are evenly spaced across and on a straight line. All of the early Evinrude’s I have seen had one number stamped at a time and each one was not perfectly set across. Still, any skegless RBM is a find!
