Catwagon, I tried a '66 33hp bypass cover and it won't fit either. It seems to be the same size as the '65 40hp cover, both a bit larger than the 30hp cover.

Wow, thanks BoatBouy for letting me know before I found one and dropped the cash to order it.<br /><br /> I had already been giving serious thought to using mine as a pattern and then casting a few covers with the appropriate fuel mount bosses. I'll go ahead and get to work on it since that'll gaurantee me a perfect stock fit.<br /><br /> Steve

I can see what you guys are trying to do,and think about this ... Drill,tap and install a 5/16 barb hose fitting in your bypass cover.Use a free standing fuel pump on a bracket under the cowl. ? ?<br /><br />DHP

DHPmarine I hadn't thought about doing it that way, but that would solve the problem very nicely, Thank You!<br /><br /> Scrumbler anyone can learn to cast aluminum at home especially from all the great info that's posted on the net these days. But to answer your question more directly, yep, I can cast simple items like transom corners if I needed to.<br /><br />Steve

I stand corrected - it was the 28hp bypass cover I was thinking of..<br />- Scott

Catwagon, if you would like to get rid of that "toggle" dial, (I don't know what they call it either) I'd love to find one. If you go to a tiller settup, let me know.<br /><br />b1_vw@hotmail.com<br /><br />I just recently did a 25 horse Johnson 1955. As mentioned earlier, they are great motors, and lots of fun to work on. I really appreciate their quallity - they were not meant to be disposable.
