you will need to be slightly more specific about your model, but there is another member here that did have some nos stuff.

I would personally just post a wanted ad in the webvertize at aomci.org if I were you. Or just go into your parts room in your basement ;)

it's a 1958 evinrude 7.5. I would think about any washer from any model would work. I just wasn't sure how to take the clip off without damaging it. If I bought a used one. No extra parts and no basement. lol just the garage.

not sure about the washer, but the screw for a 5.5 and 7.5 are the same, a 10hp screw is larger.

Re: Transom Screw 58 evinrude

The trick is to completely bombard them initially, then cut down to only a couple rooms, and they're happy.

I pretty much have the whole basement filled with motors. 2 parts rooms and 3 rooms full of good motors to work on over the winter.

As long as I leave her a path to the washer and dryer she doesnt complain anymore. She tried but I think I won and she gave up ;)

Re: Transom Screw 58 evinrude

If your like me and like to check out junk yards they are a good source for parts like that. The clip can be bent and then pops off and it can be reused if your careful.

HT - Looks awesome, but if I did that my house would be my own and there wouldn't be anyone to do laundry, cook....... That and I'd be paying alimony for the other house that my wife and kids were living in.

Showed my wife pictures of your collection, and she no longer feels that my affliction is as serious as once it was. Thank you for putting it into perspective for her. She is concerned, however, that my present collection could grow into a similar situation to yours.

I think she referred to you as a "boat motor missionary..." Out there trying to save lost souls, I suppose....:rolleyes:

Re: Transom Screw 58 evinrude

Back to the issue of retaining the pad... Personally, I do away with the old clip method entirely and bolt them on as they do with the newer ones. I center bore the thumb screw about 3/4-inch in. I then thread it with a 1/4-20 tap until the tap bottoms out. I then take a bolt, approx 7/8-inch long and thread it in. Might take some trimming to get the length right, but when done it should be bottomed out in the threads with just enough of the head and shaft showing to allow the pad to move freely but not sloppily. Bottoming the bolt out in the not-quite cut threads at the bottom of the hole tends to hold it in place and keep it from backing out. Loc-Tite threadlocker doesn't hurt, either. I also grind the head of the bolt down a bit so that it will not extend beyond the cup of the pad.

One of these days I'll take some pics of the process and maybe add a sticky to the top of the forum...

And I thought my wife's shoe obsession was bad....do they just appear at the front door during the night with a note attached as they do at Zephy's?
