Well your post is actually on topic. It beats all the political Hackery going on here.

I do know that your engine is 8 hp. But searching sites and pics just shows parts sales and diagrams. Not sure but it probably cars des to the Johnson line as well.

It must be an interesting little motor.


It's a small outboard from the mid 1980's that got bumped up from the
7.5 hp Evinrude, which was a model in the line for a very long time.
Probably not much different than this 1985 model:

I had a 7.5 Evinrude on a 12' "Skimmar" brand plywood skiff in the
mid-1950s. There were plenty of rock outcroppings not far offshore from
our little cove, and I liked to bottom fish in those days. My dad had a
boat name painted on the Skimmar... *Porgy Hunter* Great little boat
and motor.
