Fleetwin 4443 Lower Clutch Rod

[Alex B]

Hi, I have my grandfather’s 1951 or ’52 Fleetwin which I have managed to keep running “all these years”. Unfortunately after I disassembled the unit to inspect the impeller, I could not locate the 203043, lower clutch rod, for reassembly. (My neighbor suspects someone passing by because I keep a clean garage and know where every other part is, but I will take the responsibility.) Does anyone know who I could contact for a salvaged one or, if not, would anyone be willing to send me the specifications on one so I could make a new one?
Thank you AOMC!

Does anyone know who I may contact for antique Evinrude salvaged parts? I have tried the Brazilian Connection, vintageoutboard.com, and boatsportandtackle.com

Thanks, Alex!

There was a recent post showing the parts list for the Fleetwin. I have quite a few extra parts, If you can find the parts list, show what the link looks like so I make sure I am thinking of the same part. I don’t check here every day, but I will try to remember to look back for this post.

Here is a parts list. I have the complete list somewhere?

OK, I will look and see if I can find one.

Thank you Steve,

Since my Fleetwin is under 70,000 I believe it would be 203043 as seen in the attached document if you are able to open it.

I am sorry Alex, but I went into the garage attic twice today,…..Very hot up there….I found the box with all the neutral clutch Fleetwin parts, but unfortunately no clutch rod. I probably have almost enough to build another motor, but I looked in two places that I though it could be, and I just can’t find it. I will keep looking, but in the mean time, perhaps someone else can help.

Thank you for the effort Steve!

I think I may have found it. It is just a straight rod with the ball on the top. The other end is flat. I don’t know if it is supposed to have any groove or hook on the bottom end. The one I have is just the end of a round rod.

Steve. (Sorry I was up north last week, and I didn’t find it until yesterday.)
