    1969 6HP Impeller replacement

    Just acquired another vintage Evinrude, 6HP, 6903M-E01331, 10 years newer than my 1959 5.5HP Golden Jubilee. Hoping that is 10 years of progress. Definitely lighter and more compact. Looks easier to work on too. I know on the 1959 model, I have to pull the powerhead to replace the impeller. Is...

    Tohatsu M9.8A vs. M9.8B model differences

    Since acquiring a Tohatsu M9.8A and trying to find information about it, which is mostly non-existent, Paul and Sea Rider helped convince me that it is indeed an obsolete one-of -a-kind. I got an A model parts book and Sea Rider posted a Model B parts book for comparison. Thank you both and...

    Vintage Tohatsu M9.8A fires right up! Impeller & fuel line options?

    You guys are right, this could get addicting, lol. After sitting in a shed for 8+ years, cooking in triple digit summer heat, this 'obsolete' M9.8A fired right up! There is gas sludge in the fuel bowl so I expected the carb to be gummed up too but with gravity fed fuel directly to the carb, it...

    1959 Evinrude 5.5 alive again - water pump replacement?

    After sitting for 8 or 10 years, I finally got her to fire up after cleaning the points, getting spark to both jugs. Ran fine in the start position, and revved up ok briefly. Water pump working, just wouldn't idle without dying. I did some carb cleaning without much disassembly, fired right back...

    1959 Evinrude 5.5 fired up!! Prop depth?

    After sitting in the shed for about 8-10 years, I got Golden Jubilee Fisherman fired up today! Filed and cleaned the points, gravity fuel tank, garbage can of water, and she runs! Fair amount of water coming out of the exhaust column, pretty quiet for a 2 stroke. Runs in the start setting up to...

    Vintage Johnson dual line gas tank - fit Evinrude 5.5?

    Greetings, This tank came in the 1957 12' skiff we bought. It appears to have the same connector as the 1959 Evinrude 5.5 that I got from the shed, indicating that perhaps this motor was on this boat. I was looking at the motor for a fuel pump but after looking at the tank, I guess the motor...

    Evinrude Fastwin values?

    I have the chance to acquire 4 of these 1950's Evinrude Fastwins, unknown condition, all close to the same but I don't have numbers off the other 3. Stored since 2008 or before. Just wondering what kind of value they might have? I see similar on ebay for parts around $100, running for $500-600...

    1957 Evinrude 5.5

    This came with a small aluminum boat my son couldn't pass up. Stored for 8 years or more, previous owner had a stroke and can't tell us anything about it or the other motors. Wondering about it's value? Also first steps to testing it? Thanks, Dave

    Ted Williams and Gamefisher both 7.5

    In looking for a lightweight OB for our 16' Aire Cataraft, I acquired 2 of these Clinton powered Eska units.Normally a whitewater raft, I'm not ready for that so we are setting up for fishing. The frame can handle up to 10HP but weight is a big consideration so I figured these air cooled singles...

    Need info on Tohatsu M9.8A

    Greetings, I just acquired what is evidently a "vintage?" Tohatsu 9.8 2 stroke, Model M9.8A, Serial 23093 I have been searching without success for any info on that model. All I find in manuals or parts listings are M9.8B. Forum discussions all seem to be even newer C & D models. Does anyone...
