Another old Evinrude!

[czctuscoyote]

... just bought an old rig - boat and motor. Motor is an evinrude Angler serial # 5702AE01183. Seems to run good on test stand. Any info. on proper oil fuel mix, lower gear lube oil, and other points of care and feeding will be much appreciated.

Re: Another old Evinrude!

The Angler was for all intents, a 6hp powerhead on a 4hp lower unit. If it were mine, I'd richen up the oil a hair - maybe 40:1. It has bronze bearings on the crank mains, but has needles on the crank pins. <br /><br />When you ran it on the stand, did you have the unit submerged in water? Might be a good idea to replace the impeller as a matter of course. It's VERY simple to do on that motor, and the impeller itself should run you about $15.00. Still wouldn't hurt to find a manual for your motor (see bottom of iBoats page).<br /><br />They're good running little motors and with proper maintenance and care will continue to give good service...<br />- Scott
