Broken skeg is common. Don’t want to rest the motor on
the skeg. Lay it down if you don’t have a place to hang it.
If it has a little bend in it – leave it. Trying to straighten it
can result in it snapping off.
There are a few parts that cross over from the Midget
to the Evinrude’s but not as many as one might think.
There are pre & post war Sea King Midgets as well so you
can have either magneto. The magneto with the rotor
magnet has 2 keys in the crankshaft, 1 for the rotor.
They have a different dia. and taper as well.
My experience with the Mercury coils is really limited
but the few I had, did have a hole for the wire.
