I have aquired a 7.5 horese Evinrude Fleetwin SN 277426. It has a tank with it!
I also, at the same time got a Mont. Wards Sea king 6hp Mod. vwb 52106 sn 57y 2114. They both have the same length from the transome to the prop centerline. I have managed to start each. The Evin. is missing all the knobs outside of the engine cover.
Which one would make the best kicker for a 14-17 ft boat. It will be a back up to my 50hp Mercjet. They both need carb, fuel pump, water pump, and new seals in the lower unit. I was able to find parts available for the sea king, but havent done any thing with either.
I am leaning slightly towards the Sea king as it is a slightly smaller package. I think it uses 50:1, I think the Evin. uses a more oil to fuel, but I dont know. If either one uses other that 50:1 it will require a second fuel tank to sit next to the one for the Merc.
What do you all think?
