Re: 1978 evinrude 55hp gearcase
Many of us know how...... to explain the procedure is another matter. Best to purchase or borrow a manual to avoid any possible errors.
Why do you want to inspect the gears?
I purched a boat with this motor on it, the motor looks no differnt then brand new.
the fellow told me it would not go in gear, but i started up and it went right in gear easy,pumped water and purred like a kitten.
but on further inspection i noticed a hair line crack at the back of the lower unit where water has got in to the gear case, so i just wanted to see if he run it to long like that and wreck anything.Even thou the motor runs and gos in to gear perfect.
Thanks for you time
