I have a 1956 Evinrude model 10012 and a 1956 Johnson model QD-17. Both are very similar except for the hood. I am putting out a search here locally to see if anone has any for sale for parts etc. As for internal parts what years should I be asking for?
The Evinrude is in good running condition but the Johnson has some probblems in the lower end. It will jump out of forward gear anything over half throttle.
My initial plans were to keep the Johnson for parts, but now I am interested in getting the Johnson running also.
I know that Johnson made 10 HP from 1949-1963 while Evinrude only made 10 HP from 1956-1963.
Would I be safe in asking for an Evinrude from say from 1956 to 58 and a Johnson from 1955 to 58 or would there be too much diferences in the internal parts over 2 or 3 years. Just a question.
