15 HP Need Help

[correlldm]

I purchased a 15 HP Evinrude Outboard for $300. The stats are: Mod. #E15RCDE S/N: E0607811. What year is this? Also, the skeg is not straight, instead it has a gentle 1/4" curve in it from Starboard to Port. When my Schwann Man came to the door the other day, he said his has a curve in it. Is this stock or does it need to be straightened? If it's not stock, how does one straighten it?
