Thanks for the quick info Chris, I posted on craigslist for a 57 or 58 18hp Johnson or evinrude and a guy called me , not really knowing what he had. After looking up the s/n that he gave me ended up being a 54 15hp evinrude and a 62 5.5hp evinrude. both locked up. He was asking $125 for both. I'd like to save them from the junk man, but cents the bracket wont fit. I don't think its worth the 150 mile round trip to pick them up. I'm going to offer 50 bucks and see what happens.

I found a place that has 2 of the brackets that I emailed yesterday. If you need one I will let you know how that works out.

Thanks again
Rick

Just a update HighTrim, After a cab kit and a lower unit seal kit the old motor running fine. Got a steering bracket off of ebay and started my disassembly for a restore. As for the 54 evinrude 15hp and the 62 evinrude 5.5 I got them both for 75.00. the 5.5 is locked up but the 15 fills good. If you have any PDF or anything that would help me out I would appreciate it very much!!!! US Cadets need all the help we can get LOL. I will post some pics of my 57 Johnson soon. Thanks again!!!
