To add to what’s already been said, The Super Sea Horse 35 features were same as the Evinrude Lark that year. They differed from the standard 35s (also offered in 1958) in that they had a fuel pump (no pressure tank), they had a thermostat for cooling, and they had the super quiet leg. These features all became standard in 1959 on the 35 and 1960 on all the 40 HP motors. The name Super Sea Horse, replaced the Javelin name. In 1957 and 1958, the Lark and Javelin were different only in outward appearance. The 35s from 1956-1959 are good motors. I have seven of them!
I converted a 40 from long to short shaft. I found a guy who wanted to go from short to long and we traded parts through the mail. You may want to post here and/or on the classified board to see if anyone wants to trade. I believe that parts from 1959 35s and the 1960’s 40 HP’s will also interchange, but you may want to doublecheck the driveshaft splines for compatibility – someone here should know..
