Re: Evinrude Model 39A?

Upon further review of the photos you’ve already posted – it does appear to be a two-piece crankcase, which, along with the Maxim silencer, points in the direction of a 1915 motor since we know that the silencer muffler can was offered as standard issue only in 1915. If so – it would be the first motor I’ve seen from that time frame that has the tilt lock device on it.

We can, of course, set about to "suppose" and "what if" things to death, but I’d prefer to go with the evidence that actually exists, and the evidence more or less is saying "1915".

Nice find, at any rate.

Hope this helps.

Best,
