Re: 1973 115 Evinrude sneezing

I got my reeds form a boat mechanic that had some used reeds. They were in really good shape, so I desided to give them a try before investing in Boysen. I looked around and had some trouble finding new stainless reeds. There was a guy a ebay that had several sets of stainless reeds for about $26.00,(used).<br />Hope this helps,<br />hoss

You can get new steel ones fron any John/Evin dealer. Theyre about 9.50 for each reed.

Just pulled the boat out of the pond and it purrs like a cat, in gear and while idling. Thanks for the info Dhadley. I would once again like to thank all who helped me for your time, words of wisdom and patience.<br />hoss123
