I have been offered an Evinrude 115HP, the year I do not know yet, the engine is on a boat and the owner mentioned there is no reverse, due to a bad reverse solonoid, he reckons this item could be changed with engine on boat or on beach!when I returned to have better look he now has dropped the engine price to less than half as there is now no forward gear either and it will not start,would this involve a lot of work and money? is it just not worth the candle? thanks guys, J.B.D.

"Reverse solonoid" means electric shift. 1972 or prior. <br /><br /> RUN away, RUN fast!

Thanks DJ, he has this engine fitted on a boat that originally had inboard and conversion says it all, I suppose one could start to gather up all these useless engines and finish up with mountain of rubbish, not even worth repairing? might be usefull as anchor? Thanks DJ for help J.B.D.

If it is indeed a 115hp then it is a 1970 or prior. Evinrude did not make a 115hp in 1971 and 1972.
