I have lost my mind again. :shock: :roll: I just bought two old Evinrudes, A 1957 Fisherman 5.5 and a Sportwin 10. To top that off my brother inlaw is giving me his Dad's 35. I'm waiting for the paddy wagon to drive up any minute. :wink: :lol:

I find it strange that Northern Hemisphere prefers Mercs whereas in Aussieland most refer to them as black anchors :? Seems we are a nation of E-Tec Yamaha or yuk Honda's... :D

I didn't want you guys to feel Nutty all by yourselves.
I picked up this one last year.
I have the write up to convert the Two Hose to the single hose. You need a fuel pump to do that.
