1959 evinrude

[Nott71]

I have a 1959 golden jubilee evinrude motor. I was wondering how fast it should run? Just had it services and it runs about 10kmh. Thanks for any input.

depends what you push but 6mph does not sound good .

Knowing which of the Golden Jubilee(1959) Evinrudes would be a big help, and as asked earlier what is it pushing?

 

[Nott71]

It's pushing a 14ft aluminum boat with just me(185lbs). Not sure which jubilee it is. Didn't know there was more than one kind.

 

[jbcurt00]

What HP, thats what he meant by which Jubilee

 

[Nott71]

Oh sorry forgot that. It's a 10hp

Might move up to the center seat and see if you get more speed.

 

[Nott71]

Can't reach the motor from center seat.

 

[oldboat1]

articulated tiller arm extension -- works like a charm.

 

[jimmbo]

A 10 hp should be enough to plane a light 14 foot car topper. Move the gas tank, anchor, as far forward as you can.

 

[Nott71]

I will try it and see if that works. Thanks for the hello everyone.

 

[Nott71]

Suppose to be help.

Is it firing on both cylinders?

 

[Nott71]

It is using all cylinders

 

[tomhath]

That motor should be able to get the boat up on plane easily and move you at least two or three times that speed.

Have you tried pulling one plug wire at a time to see if it really is firing on both? They start and sound fine on just one cylinder.

I haven't checked because I just had it serviced and was told it runs great. I will have check it myself this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.
