I stumbled accross an old Evinrude Junior outboard motor today in a
local chandlers: asking price £60 / $100. They assure me it's in good
working order. It looks like it's well over 10 years old. I have the
option of taking it back if I'm not happy. Research tells me it's
probably 2hp. Does this sound like a good deal? I want it to power a
14ft open canoe. Have never owned an outboard motor before. Can anyone
give me any tips on faults to look out for, or where I can obtain an
owner's manual or any such helpful info? The guy in the shop says "you
just put fuel in (50:1) and off you go; there's nothing much else to
worry about." He says I can lay it flat in the boot of my car when
it's not in use. Is that correct?

TIA for any info...

Get the model number off that motor and look it up in the Ken Cook
database.
Might be older than you imagine.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately this model (BEJRCCM) is not in his
database.
