Reply To: Evinrude 10hp mag plate

Looks like a good candidate for alumaweld. What ever you choose I would under cut the back sides, slightly bevel them towards the inside of the hole so the patch will hold better. If I am right OMC mag plates on the 5.5, 7.5, and 10 hp are interchangeable. I swapped a 1957 5.5 hp onto a 1959 10 hp. Check your numbers I think you can swap them from 1955 through 1960.
