Re: What Evinrude do I have?
Thanks for your replies. I'll look where you told me for the numbers.
I have no idea whether or not the motor runs. It turns when you pull the starter cord so I guess nothing in the power end is frozen, The motor itself is reasonably clean, though the paint is often down to primer and sometimes to bare metal. There's lots or corrosion on the gizmo that attaches the motor to the boat and replacing it would be nice, though I expect I could sandblast it into reasonable shape after I replace one of the screw clamps which is broken and the steel bolts that adjust the angle which are badly rusted. It's obvious someone was using a vice grip in place of the missing handle for tightening and I would have to saw off the chewed up end to get it through the gizmo without butchering the threads female threads. (I wish I know what that part was called.)
The cowling is in good shape except the latch that holds it on to the motor is broken. The obvious questions are whether or not it's worth refurbishing and are parts available to do it. I'd like to do it myself, but I have to admit my skills are more oriented to wood working and computers that tearing into engines. Any advise is welcome.
