    1949 Evinrude 5.4 hp Zephyr Carb help

    Good afternoon to all, I am in the middle of refurbishing a 1949 Zephyr & I was wondering if anyone had access to an exploded view of the carb parts & proper assembly. I have taken several pix but it sure would be nice to have an actual diagram to work from. I saw a thread that a Mr. Stuart had...

    How to Revive a 1958 Merc Mark 78 Super Marathon?

    Re: How to Revive a 1958 Merc Mark 78 Super Marathon? Ed, Thanks once again for your wealth of knowledge! Tonight when I get home I'll pull one of the jets & see how it's marked for size. If they are the .063 I will go ahead & order a set of smaller jets as it's a small price to pay. I'm not...

    How to Revive a 1958 Merc Mark 78 Super Marathon?

    Re: How to Revive a 1958 Merc Mark 78 Super Marathon? OK, Big news.....I think that I have discovered that this motor has a counterclockwise prop.

    Collectability of a 1950 F7 Alumacraft?

    Can anyone tell me the value of this boat? I recently purchased it at a very reasonable price & renovated the 1971 25HP Johnson motor that came with it. I've never seen one with the factory center brace that at some point someone added a steering wheel, pulleys & cables to steer the motor. It's...
