Re: Blue Evinrude pull start handles

[lotec]

I recall there being two different color blue pull-start handles for the late 50s Evinrudes. There was the dark navy blue ones used on the 1958 (and possibly ’57) models, then the baby blue ones on the ’59 and ’60 motors. The navy ones held up okay, but the baby blue ones deteriorated terribly, they simply crumbled away like old cheese! I think there are also long and short tales on the baby blue ones, depending on the horsepower motor they are attached to.
