Actually, that particular motor is a classic V4 and was built
pretty much the same for quite a long time.

Just make sure that the manual you buy specifically covers the
Evinrude/Johnson 115HP from 1979. Usually, the manuals are for
outboards from a range of years. Check inside the manual to make
sure that it covers disassembly and re-assembly of the power head,
but most of them do. The manuals that I use are "Clymer" manuals,
and most boat stores will have them in the parts dept.

Have you considered having an outboard mechanic put it back
together for you? Its pretty easy once you've done it a
few times, but 2-stroke outboards have some distinct differences
from automotive engines.

Good luck,

Hi,

I've got a 1979 Evinrude 115hp outboard. It needs to have
the power head put back together. The guy who "was going"
to do it got it appart, but won't be putting it back together
again. I know someone who feels he can do it if I get a manual.
I've noticed that there are a lot of manuals, so what type should
I get, and where's a good place to get it?

Thanks for any help!
