    1975 Evinrude 40hp 40555C Water Pump Impeller

    I ordered a new water pump impeller for my 40 hp 1975 Evinrude 40555C, part number 386165, which I obtained from BRP Online parts catalog. The impeller I received, with the 386165 part number, is 1/4" thinner than the old impeller. Every 40 hp for 1975, 1974, and 1976, shows the same part number...

The gasket is no longer available to purchase. It's...

    Hi, I've just aquired a 1968 Johnson 55 hp, Hydro-electric shift, and am in the process of going through things before I fire it up the first time. The prop is a little sloppy on the shaft, i.e., the prop bronze bushing is sloppy on the prop shaft. Also, I noticed that when I took the prop off...
