Good and reliable motors. They did recall the 60 and 61's though, because in a runaway condition, they often sheared off the flywheels. They still had the same block and crank as the 59 35hp's but just a bigger bore. Just make sure that your cut out switch is in good working order. In 1962, that motor was redesigned with a beefier crank and lower compression pistons.
