Re: Need info on Evinrude 40 HP.

[Don]

The 40hp is a great engine. It is basically a 50s bigtwin with more displacement, a more advanced cooling system, and the "super quiet" two layer exhaust housing. The gearcase is basically the same as the bigtwin, although the water pump is a bit different. Great engine that you will enjoy, I don’t know how much luck you will have installing the electric shift’s generator onto the manual shift model, probably best to just use a good battery and trickle charge it up ever few weeks…
