    Johnson versus Evinrude Parts numbers

    I'm looking for a shift lever for a 1958 FD12 18hp Johnson. I found one for a 1958 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp. I'm thinking that they should be interchangable, but I see they have different parts numbers. Does anyone know if they used different parts numbers for like parts used between Johnson and...

    1958 Johnson Cowl replacement

    I have a 1958 Johnson 18 missing the cowl. I know the 1957's look very similar. Paint job aside, are they the same cowl? It will be a bit of a hunt either way. Just nice to be able to increase my odds of winning. I would love to see a matrix by year and hp on what parts are interchangable...

    Trailer Identification

    I am about to start a renovation of a 1954 Feathercraft. The trailer is period correct but I can't find any brand identification on it. See attached photos. I love the 50's style fenders. Any help would be appreciated.
