I did a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration – all new ignition, carb overhaul, gearcase reseal, new water pump, new powerhead gaskets, and all new rubber grommets, paint job and decals.   Got the paint and decals from North York Marine.    Got my first experience with outboard motor broken bolt removal when I snapped off 2 cylinder head bolts.    Got too greedy and didn’t apply heat first – lesson learned.
