[omc-boats] Re: omc-boats-digest V1 #594

So re: the parts catalog, I guess I'll order the Johnson/Evinrude one.

I'm planning to replace the axle on my original '68 trailer as well,
unless anyone has info on replacing the hubs alone?
My current thinking is the spindles may be bad anyway, and if I go
full axle I will have "reset" myself so I can more easily get
bearings and seals.

Almost exactly -- it's the 2nd one in the table, 234605S Sportsman
120 I/O
The engine is a '69 based on the decoders -- it's # HUFM-69M.
