Once again I am in search of parts or donor components for this obsolete engine. The Cowling states it is a 55HP, the model number on the block states NS50C. There is no serial number available for this engine, long gone.
I am in need of a lower unit or the parts to repair said lower unit at a reasonable cost. Currently I have located a 40 HP and a 90 HP Nissan Lower Unit. I believe that Paul or Elvin has said the 40 HP lower unit is not interchangeable, Is the 90 HP lower unit interchangeable with the 55 HP? If not, is the 50, 60 & 70 HP of the same vintage interchangeable?
I do not believe that the engine or boat is worth putting a lot of money in, it is only operated about twice a year to take my Father out on the lake at his house when myself or his grandson is there. He wont operate it, but loves to go ride around on the lake.
I hate to believe that I am the proud owner of a paper weight or anchor so any help in interchange is greatly appreciated.
