    There were two distinctly different models in 1958—both Evinrude and Johnson versions. The RD/RDE gearcases will fit your Evinrude. The RDS gearcase will NOT fit. RDS is the Johnson Super Sea Horse, equal to the Evinrude Lark both otherwise known as “Super Quiet” models. You have an Evinrude “Big Twin” (not Super Quiet).

    EDIT: Better be careful on that RD-20. I’m not 100% sure on that one. It might be a Super Quiet also (???) Johnson model numbers got confusing in those years
