    1970's Springbok Aluminum - Red Paint & decal

    Re: 1970's Springbok Aluminum - Red Paint & decal I was able to buy some Tremclad "Regal Red" from Canadian Tire which was a close as damn is to swearing. It was orange before (my father's paint job), now this regal red colour. I power washed it off and then sanded it down, before painting...

    1977 Evinrude 9.9 - Shifter slipping - Throttle adjustment

    I have a 1977 Evinrude 9.9 that recently has started slipping out of foward gear, back into neutral. Is there an adjustment for it? Could a piece have broken? Obviously, with the age of the motor, it has been shifted many, many times, and could be worn. When going slow, no big deal, but when...

    Converting 4.5 to 7.5 - Possible?

    Hello, I recently purchased a 1981 Evinrude 4.5hp Integral (internal) tank, and went on to Ebay and purchased a service manual for it. I did not realize that the 4.5 & 7.5 were lumped into the same group (i.e. 9.9 and 15hp). Has anyone tried to convert or tweak a 4.5 to generate higher...

    Johnson/Evinrude 4.5hp Internal Tank - Years Manufactured

    I have been looking at purchasing a 4.5hp Johnson/Evinrude with the Internal tank. I believe the 4.5 is the only internal tank with neutra/reverse, aside from smaller engines like a 2hp. I was curious to know if anyone knew what years they were manufactured, and what the fuel mixture ratio is...
