I have 2 compression gages (Bosch and Sears). Neither of them are particularly expensive gages but they read within a couple psi of each other on any given engine. I have a ’72 Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 in the rehab line in my collection. It reads right around 65 psi on both cyls using the recoil rope to check it. I don’t think 60 is terribly low result on one of these using the recoil to test. I don’t believe you’ll find compression to be a problem.
