Hi All.<br />I'm new to the list. I have a 1969 V4 Evinrude 85 HP Electric Shift motor. I wish to buy a manual that will tell me how to repair the shifter and perform minor repairs. Which manual is the most detailed for this motor? <br />Many thanks<br /><br />gerry gregory

Hey there gerryg,<br /><br />I have the same motor. I bought a reprint factory manual from marineengine.com. It was worth every penny. <br /><br />There is a ton of info here on that motor but you'll have to wait till the search function is fixed,it's only going back a few days right now.<br /><br />If you need any minor info from the book I'd be happy to look it up till you get one.<br /><br />When you get to searching, anything by Joe Reeves is as good or better than the OMC manuals. There are also others here who are competent w/those electric shifts and are quite helpful.

Oops, I saw your post count but didn't notice you've been here since Aug. Most of what I said you already know. Merry Christmas (or other) anyway. :)
