Bill; Those motors had some things (electric shift gearcase) that people didn’t care for. Mainly because they didn’t understand how to work on them. Now they have expensive parts in them. It is imperative that no water be in the gearcase. The push button switch gave more problems than the Johnson switch for some reason, but the Johnson switch is NLA. The Evinrude switch is expensive & there is two different styles for the different electric shift engines.
A few pics would help to tell if the engine is indeed in good shape? The wiring harness needs to be in good shape. That’s a tough one on a motor of 50 something years old? It is all in the beholder, but they don’t bring much money unless in exceptional shape. Oh, they are hard on fuel consumption so you might want to run it sparingly. Just trying to be realistic.
