Re: Evinrude 55 HP Triumph Outboard Motor ???

I also have one of these motors. Just restored it. Is there any reason this specific motor configuration was only made for two years? The motor is a 3 cylinder electric shift and was only made during 1968 and 1970... Is there some issue with this motor besides the electro-hydraulic shift?<br /><br />Rick
