Personally, I restore old motors or at least try to get them running again. Sometimes though, one must be sacrificed so that others may live. Especially if it has been left full of water and the internal parts are damaged beyond repair.

maybe its time for a second love and that’s outboards
and to become "AN OUTBOARD GUY"
the most important parts you already have
looking for a lower unit can be successful soon
if the piston isn’t that stuck in the cylinder, it can be a runner again
if it have to much damage in the cylinder, a wall hanger is
also a "nice to have" thing,

I agree with Kees, if it turns over it is salvagable…. Need advice, talk to a few good men, like Brook Newcomb, Chris Scratch and quite a few others, have saved some serious basket cases….The knowledge AND parts are out there.

Hello Brad,
As other have mentioned the lower unit should not be that difficult to come up with. I would contact Doug Penn at penn.itgo.com he may have what you need. ( complete lower unit and tiller assembly) as far as what to do with it. That is entirely up to you. Part it out ( all parts can be salvaged), Cosmetic restoration, tear down clean and just get running or a full blown restoration with the intention of having a great running dependable motor. The latter option done correctly will obviously take time and money as most parts are worn and in need of having replacement parts made or repaired. All depends on how deep you what to go. Fortunately these Evinrude Rowboat Motors are not all that rare in some cases it might be easier to start with one that is complete. You have many options.

Feel free to contact me directly if you wish.

Respectfully

Personally, since I have fallen in love with these wonderful old OB motors, I have always wanted a "REALLY OLD ONE". To me, the amazing pleasure is how well they can perform after all these years. Nobody has ever built anything else that is so simple, dependable and really well designed than some of these old OBM’s Just my opinion. If you like mechanicals (it seems you do) you could fall in love too. (do you own a boat?)

Check your email.

A "Boat House Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
