Howdy, MD.<br /><br />There have been at least three completely different 60hp Evinrudes.<br /><br />To be of any help to you we must have the model number.<br /><br />Water pump overhaul is a pretty routine job if you have the correct manual.<br /><br />Why do you believe that it needs new rings?<br /><br />Let us know. :)

Re: Evinrude 60hp

Could be one of those "Change stuff until it starts to work" wrenches.<br /><br />Get the engine. Then we'll troubleshoot it and see if it really needs rings. The first thing you need to do is a compression test.<br /><br />Meanwhile, we still need a model number so you can get yourself the correct manual and we can give you correct advice.

Muffdiver,<br /><br /> That number, E60ELCIA, is your model, Thats the number you need to order parts. That number shows it is A 60hp, Electric start, long shaft, 1981 Evinrude outboard.

Re: Evinrude 60hp

MD,I come up with 1981 2cylinder. 3.187 inch bore.<br /> pistons and rings are available in std,.020,<br /> .030.Same parts fit 80-85. probably harder to find over there but a good dealer may be able to help.<br /> Perhaps you can find someone on line that will ship over there.

Re: Evinrude 60hp

Best manual would be factory manual.You may be able to find on ebay or at www.kencook.com<br /> They do reprints of originals.Dont know if they ship oveseas.Second choice would be Celoc or Clymers and there are some others.<br /> Manuals are at the bottom of this page,<br />Amazon.com and again ebay among others.
