Do you know where I can find a new gas cap for that tank

Would the wire issue cause the brakes to lock up at stops n have trouble releasing when starting to go again? Thank you

Definitely polyurethane paint !

15%

I would bet that transom when you take that merc of that boat which I think are the best motor by far.anyways when u do get the motor pop a part of that transom cap and I bet its all dryrot.

Take that Mercury and put it on the Evinrude boat

Love the looks of that boat I would paint it and redo the hold thing .

Greetings from South Africa! Love your channel. I follow a guy called Son who has a channel similar to yours but specialises in 4 to 6 cylinder Merc Towers of Power. He goes by the handel MercSon L6. Yours runs beautifully. If you can get the Evinrude 90 going I would keep the boat and motor together as a unit.

I got a 50 four cylinder that was sitting for a while. It started right up after a new alternator and trigger. Been chasing problems though. One is a leak like yours.

Very good setup with that 4 cylinder

I have the same motor. Been looking for a video like this for a while now I’m heading to the garage!

Hey Michael. Love your new addition. All you need is some marine epoxy for your small hull repairs. And then you could try shooting a good three part epoxy paint would finish off nicely. Great work. Mike

I understand the idea of putting another engine and trailer on tha evinrude boat, but i still think the whole vintage package looks so cool together. How many of them can still be found? And as you said, in the car world, this would be a gem. But unfortunately for boats, people don't care that much. It will be a cool idea to keep the boat original, with the sweet trailer and engine. Bring it back to a decent shape, and then send it on its way. Someone with an old school truck or car could have a period correct boat and trailer to go the lake or shows. That would be cool. Plus, you will keep the alumacraft together with its engine which seems in good shape. You would have to manage to repair the dent and then send it on its way. Otherwise, once the engine is off the boat, then the haul will get scraped. Too much work, and time to repair the dent, then the floor, all the wood around the cockpit... lots of people are rebuilding aluminium boat with aluminum tubing and angles to create hatches, someone could be interested in this boat for such project. Remove all the wood, and rebuild the interior to create a decent bassboat, with a working engine and good trailer.

K series Acura's had a screw on filter just above the transmission.

Maxlife, very smart. IT IS FAR SUPERIOR TO TOYOTA WORLD STANDARD. I use Maxlife in anything I can.

Water pump no good or ports are stopped up

I'm re-building an old 59 Johnson Evinrude 35 on a Starcraft Ski Boat, also a 59. I'm no sailer, live in the Desert...knew nothing about pitch, now I do! THX !

Stay with the Gelcoat stay away from paint will not hold up and easy to scratch on a boat.

That Mercury would be one to restore. Paint and such. I'd like to see you weld up that skeg.

Love that sound!

What about the stringers in the boat? could be rotten.

pls show this wonderful grill some love from the outside too it looks awful to be honest

Wondered if you still had the boat the tree fell on and if you had done any work to try and get the gunnel pushed back up That Evinrude would make a great fishing rig with all that open deck space and super stable since it's a tri hull Body filler and paint would be much faster. Interesting trailer I had an ol Johnson V-4 that would drink gas like an alcoholic Nearier spit my coffee on my monitor when you got zapped ... LOL

I think it’s great to re-power 64 Evinrude boat with the 1:00:19 1:00:22 1:00:24 tower of power. When you move it the Evinrude boat check the seals on the lift cylinders and if you put new seals in it should make the lift cylinders work better. Mcguaries . Makes a one step gel coat restore/wax should bring back the gel color of the gel coat Thanks Tim

Awesome video. 👍👍What a great project the Evinrude boat is gonna look amazing after new paint and it’s gonna steer like a Cadillac with the upgrade merc tower and controls .. The tower sounded Awesome . What are ya gonna name it after it’s finished how about the GRAY BANDIT , But I still would like to see the Ol Starflight running . Can’t wait to see the process 👍👍Stay safe and As always Sir thanks for the ride along and Keep’em coming

I had a Glasstron boat with a Evinrude 90s, I installed a 3 way switch on the dashboard so I'd have neutral before going to reverse or forward. Worked just fine.

I had a 1967 Aluminum Starcraft with a 1967 40 hp Johnson With Electramatic shift with a small red lever for giving it advance throttle enough to start it, with electric choke. I never liked or trusted it, and I was glad to get rid of it!

Good to hear the tower of power run, they always sound like racing outboards, got to love the two strokes, looking forward to seeing you enjoy it on the water fishing,

I think the water pump needs to be replaced it not all the way war out but if it was mine I would put a new one in it

love how those older mercs sound! sweet motor.

I believe gelcoat is much better than paint I think the gelcoat last longer. That's definitely a heavy boat. I do have a question way don't you want use that trailer?. My opinion is champion plugs are junk out of the box I think you would be better off using the old plugs

That is in amazingly good condition. If the wires are going to have a problem it's going to be worst right where they enter the stator.

thank you so much got my grandfathers boat he passed away in 2012, and i just barley picked it up this year crazy right but i put some gas in the old thing and that girl fired right up, just didn't get anything out of the pee hole thank you so much i will be ordering a new water pump and see what happens thanks!!! and how shallow can you run these outbords? wanted to use his set up on a hunt this year just wanted to see what you thought thank you good sir you have got a new sub!!!!

Those OMC made Evinrude/Johnson boats were sort of an experiment in taking the power and might of a major corporation’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities to produce boats (which are normally produced by smaller companies with very manual processes). They were expensive when new, and very unique with lot of custom components and accessories made in-house by OMC. Very original except for the seats (those are modern replacements). I wouldn’t paint it, you will regret it down the road when it starts to peal. My first boat I purchased when I was in high school about 20 years ago had a 1966 Johnson 80hp with the electric shift. A great engine, but VERY thirsty. The first generation electric shift parts are unobtanium, but are nice when they work. I ran mine for about 5 years without any trouble, but the electric shift made me nervous. I still have an old video of my 80hp Johnson running the lake on my channel. That Evinrude is a very cool boat (and trailer!) 😎

How can you not keep the original engine when everything else is original?

wow, that thing is hideous! lol

it's not a head, it's just a water jacket gasket. Just change the gasket or black riv and good to go. The cylinders in these are a mold. No head of any kind on them.these are sweet engines when you have one with good wiring. . don't believe the haters. fantastic and stable engines. just huge compared to new 90's that are three or four cylinders. Been a marine mechanic for 54 year now. Have build literally hundreds of these engines, always (almost) operator failures of one kind or another.

Looking forward to seeing the 1964 Evinrude back on the water. Not sure whats better, a kid in a candy store or Michael with an inline 6 cylinder! Glad to see its just a head gasket.

Can’t wait to see the old girl with that 6 cylinder on the water!

I’d go find a late 80’s to late 90’s Evinrude 90.

That Merc is a beast!!! #6 plug = 1 1/2" hole saw, thin strip 3" x 1/4" of metal with three holes, rivet plastic plug to center hole, loosely rivet one hole to lower cowling and use a screw for the third hole, 3 and 9 pattern.. Rubber grommet or tubing around outside of hole for sealing. A lot of people now are spinning their props when gear oil starts to come out, seems to work. Also I carry a small crescent wrench when using screwdrivers that have a square shank by the handle. Love your channel.

my 1966 MFG Niagara has the same cam lock holddown straps and the trailer is the same style tilt nose. wet sand with600 it will buff out nicely.

I have had both of those motors, the tower of power had one problem cylinder 1 would tend to run lean and snap the crank, and replacing the crank is not fun. The Evenrude those and Johnson motors of that era other then heavy as all get out where rock solid the power head from 75 to 90 Hp were all the same, bore and stroke they changed the lower end for different hp. It could have been 65 to 85 I would need to look in my manual. I can’t wait for the follow up video

Yes, you can fix that dent.

Thanks for posting the show.

Where do u get your parts

I have been racking my brain and hands trying to re-rope the return spring. Brilliant Idea 👍

Thanks easiest way!

Is there a clip on the needle for the float?

25hp evinrude rated power 4500-5500 35hp evinrude 5000 - 5800.
