Where do you guys get your sources when it comes to parts diagrams? If I could look those up I could look through them to see if I can determine what years are compatible.

This junction, I think I’d rather go 25 or 30 horse if I’m going to all this work. Electric start if available in those years will be nice too as this runabout is dual cockpit without a pass-through. Kind of awkward to get back to the motor

Some people collect motors. I collect parts books (and a few motors). I have piles of parts books stored on my computer.

For others, marineengine.com is a very popular resource, as well as the Evinrude website.
