As stated it is a QD22 Number should appear on the mounting bracket.Simple to work on.Reliable.
Almost any service manual will serve you well though a factory manual is best.Routine parts are readily available right here at iboats or NAPA auto parts or any well established OMC dealer among others.
Specs. 10hp @4,000 rpm,16.60 cu. in.Champ J6C plug set at .030, points set at .020.Fuel mix 24:1 with TCW3 rated oil.

steelespike do you know if that would be a long shaft or short?

measure from where it would sit one the transom, to the plate above the prop and post the measurement.

laingsoutboards.com is also a good place for parts.

If it is a long shaft it will have an obvious 5 inch extension added at the bottom of the mid section.
It will measure approximately 20 inches from the bracket that sits on the top of the transom to the antivent plate just above the prop.

cant measure it looking to buy it out of state only have pictures also it has an s after the model## so i guess its a short shaft. can it be converted to a long shaft? parts available? what would this motor be worth? i dont want to overpay..

Re: can i still get parts for this motor?

i think you would be better off, if you need a long shaft, to keep looking. there won't be much difference in resale price. converting to a long shaft could get pricey.

My take on the 61 would be pass. Older OK, or jump to a 70 or better

I would certainly go for a 10hp over (later built) 9.5. And a '61 ought to have good roller bearings, 1000 little improvements over older models, etc.

Condition is everything with any motor over 5 years old though. Can't say what it's worth without testing compression, checking the l/u oil, running it a bit, and having a good look over it.
