Does anyone know the size of shear pins for 1958 Evinrude 10 HP sportwin and 1940 Mercury K4

The drive pin for your ’58 Sportwin is made of stainless steel, 3/16″ X 1 1/6″.
Not sure about the Merc pin.

Here it is….
The Mercury K4 Is 3/16 brass also. I make mine from Solid K & S brass Stock available From good hardware Store or good hobby Shop.

I’d like to see information like this guide available to members as a sticky or in the resource section of the Inner Sanctum as a benefit of or an inducement to membership.
Here’s the whole thing
This is another list I have as well
Thanks! That’s good to have. I was suggesting that information like this be made available to club members in a repository on this website.
Is there a reason some shear pins are brass, some aluminum? As long as the size is correct, can you interchange? Bob D
