1980-1986

We have remanufactured more of these outboards than any other. This was one of the most widely produced outboard from 1973-1998 in any size range. For these reasons parts availability and serviceability are excellent. They have been a very strong performer for us and that is why we have decided to continue to offer them to you. They are a simple but strong design that we have had very few problems with. We found that the few failures with this class of outboards are due to fuel contamination or oil injection failure. As with all Evinrude outboards we build we have removed the oil injection. Fuel contamination can be prevented by installing a Racor fuel filter and checking it regularly.

Benefits: You can expect low gas consumption with this outboard. It is very light; weight (315 lbs) compared to the newer 4 and 2 stroke units. As with all OMC products you will have excellent parts and service availability, they are extremely popular.
