    Swapping Remote Control 75hp Starflite

    Hello. My remote control box has seen better days. It is for a 1963 75hp Selectric Shift. The plastic is cracked in many places and I believe that some of the internals are missing. I will be replacing it soon but I am wondering if I can replace it with a box from a different model. I would...

    Lower Unit Seal Kit for 75hp Starflite

    Hello. Does anybody know if a complete seal kit is available for a 1963 75hp Starflite model #75383E with extension? My parts manual only lists the individual seals/gaskets but doesn't mention a complete set.

    75hp Starflite Pistons and Rings

    So I'm looking at the factory service manual. In the powerhead disassembly section it says, "When wrist pin is to be removed, LOOSE side of piston must be up and driving tool must be applied to loose side. 'Always drive from loose side to tight side'". In the reassembly section is says...

    Powerhead Bolts

    I'm going to replace all bolts in my 1963 75hp powerhead as I rebuild. How does everybody feel about aftermarket bolts? I have a Fastenal here in town that could get most standard bolts. I've already ordered original OMC connecting rod cap bolts but I'll probably get aftermarket for...

    Powerhead Sealers and Lubes

    I'm going to the dealer today to get the necessary sealers and lubes for my 1963 75hp powerhead rebuild. From reading through the service manual and searching old posts, it looks like I need the following: Sealer 1000-now Scotch Grip 847 OMC Needle Bearing Grease-not sure what it's called now...

    1963 75hp Starflite Head Gasket Direction

    I know from automotive applications that some head gaskets are designed so that one face is against the block and the other against the head. I don't see any markings on my Starflite head gaskets nor do I see any mention of direction in the service manual. I'm guessing that direction doesn't...

    Pre-formed vs. Standard Hose

    I'm replacing all hoses on my 1963 75hp Starflite during my rebuild. Some need replaced and some not so much. But, since I'm rebuiliding I figure, "why not?" The cylinder head-to-thermostat housing hoses are pre-formed. It looks like it'll be $40-$50 to replace those two hoses. Could I use...

    Rust on my 1963 75hp NIB Parts

    I'm finally ready to put my 1963 75hp Starflite back together. I started the rebuild almost 2 years ago, but a busy schedule kept me from finishing. I just got the block back from the shop and I have most parts needed for the powerhead rebuild. I have found most parts that I need NIB...

    Fixed Vs. Adjustable High Speed V4

    1963 75hp Starflite. My original carb had a stripped screw hole in the choke butterfly shaft and I had a few other things wrong, so I bought a used 2 bbl carb from an early model V4 to scavenge parts from. The newly purchased carb is identical to mine except that it has adjustable high speed...

    Carb Interchange

    Will a carb from a 1971 75hp Johnson fit onto a 1963 75hp Starflite? It looks like it will just by looking at the pics, but I can't be certain.

    Heads for '63 75hp

    I'm looking around for NOS cylinder heads for my 1963 75hp starflite model 75383E. The original part #s are 307711 and 307263. Found other heads for early to mid-1960's models up for auction, but the part numbers are different. Does anybody know if other heads from the mid-60's V4's will fit...

    Speedifour vs. Starflite Parts Manual

    So I've had a parts manual for a 1964 75hp Speedifour for some time now, but I own a 1963 75hp Starflite. I know that there are some differences in the starting/charging systems between these two, but can I use the powerhead part numbers from the Speedifour manual for my Starflite...

    1963 75hp Pistons are Different

    I've just purchased .020 OS pistons for my 1963 Evinrude 75hp rebuild project. After inspecting them, I noticed that one piston is different from the others. I understand that different manufacturers may have differences in the casting, but there are two differences in the final machining. It...

    1963 75hp Evinrude Rebuild

    Hello again. I started working on a rebuild of my 1963 75hp Evinrude about a year and a half ago, but I ran out of time and had to put the project on hold. I have the original engine plus a parts engine. I just dropped off the blocks at the shop today so that my guy can let me know how much...

    '61 75hp to '63 75hp

    I am rebuilding my 1963 75hp #75383 Selectric as my winter project. I realize that there is still much boating to be done this season, even in PA, but the new school semester has begun, so my summer is basically over. Anyway, I found that my pistons are pretty much shot. I can see some...

    I just got my parts manual, but it doesn't list the part number for the entire carb, only the individual pieces. It is an Evinrude 75hp 1963 model #75383e. Does anybody have the carb part number?

    1963 75hp pistons

    I just got my parts manual yesterday (BIG help). I started to look for NOS parts or good used parts online but I can't find anything. I found some sites that sell new parts at full price, but I don't need the parts until next spring so I'm going to hold out on buying full price items until the...
