Building the motor is almost as much fun as building the boat.

Fedex delivered the Evinrude paint yesterday. So I've been sanding, cleaning and painting all morning. I thought the color was going to be darker; but it turns out it matches the original.
This is the only way to paint a motor. :D

The two wires I replaced on the timing base were going to cost me $30 each.

Fergal, I left the block and heads the original color. The dang power head is too heavy to carry around. I'm an old lady. :lol: :lol:

That's because you painted it upside down. :lol: :lol:
Yours looks like a fastwin 15 or 18. The rubber lower mounts make it at least a 55 or later. The three drilled holes in the side of the hood for the emblem might indicate 57 or 58 18 HP. But then, I'm just guessing. :D

I do know my vintage Evinrudes. I had a 1955 Big Twin 25 on a 12 foor Whirlwind when I was in high school. "Aquasonic" Manual start, grunt. I had to straddle the rear seat and use both hands to pull the starter.

Everything I can make on my current projects is going toward the down payment on a local boat repair shop. The owner is retiring. The Chris Craft Continental bottom refinish job hasn't come yet. Hoping to have that here this coming weekend.
