Ole Evinrude first tested his outboard motor in 1907, it was a 1/2 horsepower 62lb iron engine. Evinrude would not get around to filing a patent until September 10, 1910. Evinrude's patent, number 1,001,260 would not be issued for another year and was finally approved August 22, 1911.

Ole Evinrude first field tested his outboard motor invention in the summer of 1907. He earned his first patent in 1911 and was the first commercial success with outboard motors. Sadly, the Evinrudes burned out by 1914 and sold their interest in their company to their business partner and agreed to not work in the field for 5 years. Soon after the 5 years was up Ole was back with a new twin cylinder aluminum motor which his old partner declined and he started a new company. In 1929 the two companies and a third merged to form the Outboard Motor Company which still exists today.

To determine the year of an Evinrude outboard motor from the serial number 15036A 02271, you can refer to the manufacturer's serial number decoding charts. Generally, the first part of the serial number often indicates the model year, and for Evinrude, the model year typically corresponds to the first two digits or a specific code. However, to get the exact year, it's best to consult an Evinrude dealer or a dedicated outboard motor database for precise identification.
