    1992 Evinrude 30 HP instrumentation

    I have a 1992 Evinrude 30hp electric start motor installed on a 1958 Lonestar Nassau. The wiring harness at the control box forks off to a warning buzzer with light purple, gray and black wires (not currently functioning), and another set of three wires (dark purple, black, and faded cream)...

    Short Shaft Rarities

    I'm running a 1992 30 HP Evinrude short shaft O/B on my 1958 Lone Star Nassau (16' Aluminum). It maxes out at 25 mph. I'm looking for a little more top end, so I'm trying to locate a 35-50 HP short shaft motor. Are HP ratings the same, regardless of vintage? Assuming good compression, would a...

    Control box interchangeability

    I have a '92 30hp Evinrude with a remote start. The control box and cables came with the motor. I'm going to look at a 1990s vintage 40hp Evinrude that supposed to be electric start, but no cables come with the motor. How interchangeable are the Evinrude controls? Should I expect the round...

    Evinrude 30 Steering Connector Interference

    1958 Lone Star Nassau

    Sincere thanks for the posting tips and the help. I tied to take some photos as requested. I started stripping some of the 5 layers of paint (I think two reds, orange, black,and grey) - sorry for the technicolor appearance. The boat had two steel diamond plates on either side of the transom and...

    1958 Lone Star Nassau

    I just bought a '58 Nassau also (well, more hull than boat), its my first boat. I need to replace the wood transom. I was hoping there's a better way than cutting out the aluminum fins and welding back into place. Any tips or photos of 'completed' projects from other owners?
