Reply To: 1968 Evinrude 6HP Yachtwin

With the Yachtwin name on it, your motor may have a 10″ extension on it right above the gearcase instead of a 5″ one as these motors were popular for use on sailboats. A clear photo of the complete motor with good lighting will help identify it.

There’s lots of good information about the 1980’s 6, 7.5, and 8 horse motors at this site:

EDIT: I don’t think the sixes came with a 10″ extension, only a 5″.
