That engine (50473) is a 1974 50hp Evinrude model, not a 1973.

You don't say which bolts..... there's a lot of different ones. However, if you're speaking of the cylinder head bolts, that would be 18 to 20 foot pounds in the following sequence.

9...10
5....6
1....2
4....3
8....7

Re-read my reply. I don't know how to word or explain it any simpler. Stand in back of the engine, facing the spark plugs. The numbers I listed correspond to the bolts.
