I don’t think I still have my service bulletin set from OMC. I have no idea what Canada did, but would think it would be the same later (1980) on. I do have a early set of Evinrude bulletins with notes from a factory office worker. They are on loan for copying at the moment. Bulletins became odd things later on at OMC. Lawyers got involved with them (as with everything). They took forever to get out (some never did)! Most were so watered down that they never told you what was really the problem. The standard procedure was to run you around in circles having you check all of the usual standard stuff and then hint at the actual problem in the last sentence or two. Never really admitting their was a problem in the first place. Meanwhile in the field dealers & customers were dying for information as to how to repair their engines or get a better/improved part. It became our job to pass this information on. Most of the reps had around 300 dealers to see in their territories. The early bulletins were not this way!
