Re: Recommended Updates For 1992 Evinrude 60 HP

All of the points fleetwin (Don) brings up are important. Of course on a 25yr old motor I wouldn’t consider using any of the pistons over again. With the ports having to be modified it would be necessary to bore all cylinders! If any cylinder (#1) was beyond repair it is easily sleeved with a completely new liner. Very easy to do on this model. As far as buying a new/rebuilt powerhead, not many service providers know about these modifications (port mods). (They were not published by OMC to servicing dealers as most did not do that type of machine work).
I also did a little more research into the side exhaust cover. Original #329834 is cast into the cover. The new cover is #343964. I haven’t found one of those to look at, but maybe the number is cast on it too. The late cover is available, but $81.63 ME.
The last 56 cu. in. motor of this type was built by OMC as a 2001 model. It was discontinued by BRP. Emmisions we’re going to finish it off anyway. The 4 stroke Suzuki took its place for a short time.
