http://and.apollo.lv/Zobrats/zobr.htm <br />I have such a problem with my forward gear (all other gears are OK). What do you think, can I just ask some specialist to cut out bad part at some machinery, or should I buy new gear? If so, where can I get it?<br /><br />Andris

This depends on cost of labor and availablity parts. You might find a budddy who can weld up that chip and mill it down.

Re: Evinrude 55 1969 Gear

The problem is I live in europe:) In Latvia, there is no old stuff like this, here the boats are entertinement of the rich people and there is only very expensive engines/boats and service for them:) Old stuff like this engine is very rare and not servicable here.<br />I know that i can't weld this thing, this place will probably be softer and will deformate very quickly, but the idea is to hone off the crashed piece of both things, they will get thinner, but probably big enough to drive?<br />One more idea is to buy the thing in internet and send to one pal in Chichago, he will resend to me, I will check the mentioned stores.<br /><br />thx<br />And<br />And

some gears are the same foward and reverse . if that is posable just reverse and dont go backwards .
