    I found a replacement for my ’66 Evinrude 33 with a stuck flywheel (see other thread on OMC vs HF puller) in the form of a ’79 Evinrude 35. I’d like to know if I can use the 2 levered control box from the 33 on the newer 35 which is supposed to have a single lever box. It appears that I can use the shifter cable but will have to get a different throttle cable because the ends are different.
    Also, and I hope I don’t offend anyone by asking, in light of the ’79 not being an antique by any stretch of the imagination, is there a forum as excellent as this one where I should be posting questions for the newer motor? I have a couple of questions about it.
    THANKS!

    Hey, that motor is defined by AOMCI as a "Classic" and is welcome here. Anybody that is offended by it has a problem. BTW, a Classic is anything over 30 years old.
