Evinrude 1968 waterpump etc.

[Corona23]

I knocked over this Evinrude Fifteen Worktwin. I need spareparts for waterpump, maybe fuelpumpkit, thermostat, gearbearings, o-rings and gaskets. I don't have full view yet.
The engine has very nice compression on both barrels.
Do anyone know if this model is compatible to later models ?

Many of the 18 HP parts are the same.

Thanks for quick reply.
Do these 18's have to be the same age? Or can I be lucky to make later (70s parts) fit?
Both the 18 and 15 Evinrude are rare as tears in the rain. We mostly see the Mercury.

The 18 hp motors were made for many years, with many minor changes along the way. Not only that, but if I am not mistaken, the 15 you have is a reincarnation of the Gale 15hp, last made in 1963. Bottom line is that comparing parts with older/newer motors, has to be done on a part-by-part basis. See if you can find a specific parts book for your 15 and go from there.

I believe I have some 15 HP paper parts manuals somewhere.-----Have a 66 model myself too.

I believe that most parts up to 1972 are the same, then many changes start happening
