    Your guesses are as good as mine. But I see that—
    “E” = Electric start.
    “S” = Sail.
    “ES” = Electric Start-Special
    “L” = Long Shaft
    Take your pick. The “S” Sail makes sense if the idea was the older lower unit/prop was to give it better power in reverse without the thru-prop exhaust being sucked into the prop. By any chance is it possible to run at higher throttle setting (maybe even WOT) in reverse? That would clinch it as being a sailboat motor.
