    I went to the hardware store today and found these –

    here is what I bought compared to the original Evinrude head bolt and a bolt off of my TN28

    I cant find the Evinrude bolt on Ebay and to me they look weak compared to the Johnson bolts as they have no shank. When I was unbolting the head, I had three bolts that felt like they were about to shear off, and as luck would have it, the last bolt did. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t use an off the shelf hardware store bolt?
