The width of the carport, has no relationship to flipping it. Just flip it in any open area with the help of several friends and trailer it back, up side dowm.

Too hard to tell from photo, but it is a 20 inch engine on a 20 inch boat. The mounting brackets that are best to use, have 4 holes about 1/2 apart to fine tune your engine heigth. In most cases not necessary, but nice to have. These brackets are a direct exchange for the ones you have, can not tell...

Joe The heavy duty gearcase was only offered in mechanical shift and was last offered in 1968 as an option on the 65 and 85 . In 1969 thru hub exhaust gearcases were the only option. It is the same basic gearcase as the 1958 and 59 50 hp. Way back then, I was a factory certified mechanic for Evinrud...

My boat is a 1960 Cruiser's 202 16', I run both a 1960 40 Evinrude and also a 1960 75 Evinrude. The 40 does 28 mph on gps, with just me, the 75 does in the upper 30's and has done 41 with the windshield off.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, your engine has a heavy duty gear case for heavy loads and slow speeds. They were first used on 58 and 59 50 hp engines. They were noted as gas hogs and slow, but a lot of power. Prop torque could be the problem! You are out of my field of direct knowledge, howev...

Just because the engine came off a bigger boat does not mean it had the correct prop. Look for a part number on the prop. The best prop will have a smaller dia hub than the gear case, that is the smallest pitch prop. Do the mounting brackets have 3 or 4 choices for engine height? The newer 70 had th...

Your old 1965 75 has less prop shaft hp than your newer 1983 70hp. The 1983 should be 5 mph faster! How fast are you running? Any idea of max rpm? If the engine is over proped, it is possible to cause the boat to be twisted to one side. RPM @ wot should be 4500+, if boat run but 30 mph, a 10 inch pi...

Please sent 4 or 5 inches.

Lake Houston is droping a foot a month, and it's only 10 or 12 feet average depth!

Down 18 inches from normal at present.

I can use all my lifts with it 4' down, the max the city will allow it to drop,at that point it become a very private lake, no one comes out.

My 1960 16' 202 does have limber holes.

It also had a limber hole thru iner keel so both sides could drain. When I replaced the inner keel, I added a second transom drain plug for the port side.

Which is stronger, forming ribs by laminating 1/8 inch strips of oak or steam bending them?

thanks, google is great should have checked myself

What is a gripe? Here's a few of my Cruiser's pictures. www.aerialimaging.net/john

I would highly recommend you do do change engines, the 100 is far a better engine, both in performance and economy. The 90 were not know as great engines, it was the first year of the 4 barrel carb! They both look the same under the cover, it would be easy to find a 90 cowling and even change the se...

Nice modification!

Breaks off right above nut, very clean!
