[kees]

quote AusF233:

Kees, Can I ask where you got that information ie as there are a many pictures of supposedly earlier Evinrude RBM’s with reversing gear-foot on the internet.

well , on the first question,
here on this forum,
internet search,
the book , "The American Rowboat motor" by Arlan Carter
save and collect photos from Ebay ( f.e. )
I must say that not all what people offer on Ebay has the correct info, often they mention a production
year based on what they see on the ID plate, but that’s the patent year

Flywheel does not comprise magnets (unless they’re very dead), and has the hole filled where the starting knob would have been. The lack of magnets, implies battery ignition model.

when it would be an original battery ignition model one,
It is more likely that they should had
used the flywheel with the four holes, like the 1913 model
