What will swap? (Winter Project)

[alderman]

OK, the weather is going south and and the mighty Mo will soon be down for the winter. I have a 1971 evinrude 25hp model # 25102 the lower unit housing is getting perty rough and the whole motor needs a fresh coat of paint. Going to start watching e-bay for new lower unit. What years will interchange? Is there a site where you can look up what will cross over. Thanks for all replies

Hi Alderman,<br /> Your motor will take units from the late 1960s to the mid 1970s, 18-25hp. Later 1970s units get a little tricky as they changed out driveshafts to mate up with the 31-cube powerhead. Basically, any 22-cube motor's unit will interchange with yours (although mid-1960s and earlier will look quite different and lack the upper roller bearing).<br />- Scott

Alderman, you need to take that thing to Smithville Lake and do it in for the winter. <br /><br />Well, since your gonna change it anyway. Crappie fishing is doing really well there right now.

Thanks chinewalker now all I have to do is get busy and round up all the parts I would like to replace this winter. I would really like to get this motor looking new again. It runs great just the previous owner never did anything to exterior.<br />Stumpy I may indeed try and make it to Smithville one more time this year. Providing this rain stops and I can get another weekend off. I really hate to let those kittys alone in the river, but even crappie fishing is better then no fishing.<br />Thanks Again, <br />Ray

Well, good luck on the motor...<br /><br />Yep, this rain just won't stop. It's gonna take a month for the airfield to dry up here. <br /><br />Have a good one...and keep on fishing!
