Re: [omc-boats] Service manuals on ebay

Hi Skip,

IS your drive a four-bolt top cap or five bolt top cap? My guess is the 4-bolt cap units pretty much went away went away for 1967. One main difference is the earlier drives incoporated an extra oil pump running of the lower gear shaft. The shop manuals didn't change as much year to year as did the actual illustrated (exploded view) part books. In my experience, having the factory parts manual is also very helpful, to visualize how everything goes together.

Also, as far as I can tell, there is nothing that prevent the early tapered hub props and later-style "straight" hub props from interchanging among all years, except for the torpedo-style 88/90-hp, 2-stroke V4m which shared their props with the 60-75-80-90 hp 1960-1967 V4 outboards? Anyone else paid attention to their prop's hub style?

Happy Holidays.....

Lee

  I don't know if this makes a difference, but I have a 1968 Evinrude Sportsman 155. It has the older outdrive that requires the props with a tapered hub that were supposed to come on the 1967 and older boats. I can only speculate, but they probably used the older units until they ran out of them in early 1968. If that is not the case, then a previous owner of my boat must have changed out the newer one for the older one, although that doesn't make much sense. I'm wondering to which outdrive the 1968 manual refers.

    Thanks! My boat is a 69 but I'm assuming the 68 155hp is the same correct?
