    1963 T&T 40HP?

    Greetings all!<br />Other than the CMC type tilt & trim units that set the engine back a few inches, are there any factory 'Rude units that could be adapted to a 1963 40 HP from another year?<br />The boat is a small 14' glass and i would rather not put any weight further back.

    Severely cracked gel coat

    The hull of the boat is in great shape. But the top is terrible. There are chips, cracks, even flakes from the gel coat. This is not a full resto project, just replacing the floor and transom. Fish will learn to fear this boat. :D The condition of the top will probably lead to a coat of...

The model is 40DE18V. The numbers are clearly visible, no chance of them being incorrect. The...

    Prop turns too much?

    Greetings all. Many thanks for your previous help. Being a relative neophyte to the boating world, I am not sure if I have a problem or not. 1964-65 Evinrude 40hp, when I turn the prop by hand, it turns almost half of a turn before it stops. Do I have a problem in the leg?

    Points vs Electronic

    Greetings all. Thanks for assistance in ID'ing my motor. It is a 1964 or so Gale 40 HP sold here in Canada under the Eatons label "Viking", which explains the odd model number, 40DE18V.<br />There is a question here somewhere....<br />Regarding the dual point ignition, can it be swapped out for...
