At the time of that publishing (1953 ) Evinrude and Johnson were considered in competition and listed separately. I added the information I had to include the V-4 outboards. I still have not been able to find the capacitance of the Sportfour capacitor. At that time the Sportfour was long gone as it was more expensive to produce than the Speeditwin and put out less power. Table 1 was Johnson – 2 was Mercury – 3 was Marten & Oliver – 4 was Evinrude – 5 was a cross reference. . . .
The 1951 25 horse broke the ice. The four cylinder prototype Evinrude built could not compete with Johnsons twin which turned out to be just as smooth at an idle. This resulted in Johnson using Evinrude’s gear case and Evinrude using Johnson’s powerhead/exhaust housing. The 75 HP V-4 had a Johnson designed gear case which proved to be much faster on a light boat.
Yo, Buccaneer, I deleted your Evinrude caps table as it showed the common 580321 capacitor listed as 0.3 or 0.4 uF while in reality it is closer to 0.2 uF. This was brought to Garry’s attention several years ago so here is the revised version.
If anyone else has the old Evinrude caps table in their files, you should delete it and replace it with this slightly revised version to avoid any confusion.
