Re: 1957 Evinrude Big Twin 35hp HELP

[danblue]

Thank you for the qualified details Garry. I’ve also learned that if the lower unit rods weren’t adjusted just right in these Bog Twins, the gears would slip, and would act up etc…I just had my lower rebuilt this season, and it has been acting up, slipping out of gear, etc. so I’m done with it..these Evinrudes were prone to issues with the gears slipping I’ve heard.

Well, at least I’m learning that if I just go ahead and get a Johnson Seahorse, I’ll actually be able to enjoy an antique outboard without to many issues…My family and friends are sick of boating with me because of all the issues I’ve had with this motor, and it’s been very discouraging.

I’ll see if I can find a really nice Seahorse 35hp or 40hp from the mid to late 50s…If anyone is selling one, please let me know!

Thanks everyone!

Danny
