Hello
I'm close to purchasing this motor and posting this thread for information. The motor --

1979 EVINRUDE 140 hp Outboard motor Evinrude
Model: 140943 or 140490
Motor Type: Gasoline
Horsepower: 140
Cylinders: 4 Vee- configuration
Start Type: Electric
Dry Weight: 310 or 315
Power Tilt and Trim: Yes

There are two different models with the Power Tilt and Trim, which this motor has
Model 140490 and 140493
What is the difference between the two models? ( maybe short shaft vs long shaft)

How reliable is this motor?

The owner says this motor is very quiet?
