    Thank you kindly for the advice and guidence everyone!

    Fleetwin, I have been in contact with Bob Grubb, and I plan to drive my boat/motor up to his place within the next couple of weeks. He has extended himself to help me dig into this issue, so I’m very grateful for his time and consideration.

    Well, I feel better about this situation thanks to everyones supportive comments, and I guess we will find out how this thing will unfold soon enough.

    To be clear, what year powerhead should I be looking for, and must it be from a 35hp? As well, these are interchangeble with the Johnson Sea Horses correct? Should I avoid Johnson 1957 powerheads and should I stick strictly with either Evinrude or Johnson 35hp 1958 power heads?

    Thanks guys!

    as soon as I read that you are in touch with bob grubb, my first instinct was to cheer! he will point you in the right direction, be able to answer all your questions and repair anything you can break. you’re in very good hands. in fact of all the qualified and experienced guys this club has, I wouldn’t hesitate at all to say he’s in the top 5, maybe top 3. it’s almost like finding yoda! good work young skywalker!
