Hi all
I'm new here and come seeking advice
I've had a fair amount of experience with seagull outboards of various shape and sizes and currently use on as an auxilliary on my wee sailboat.
However I'm looking for a little more power and less noise.
Tomorrow I'm going to look at an early 80s 5hp Yachtwin
It hasn't been run for a couple years as it was donated to a local sailing club and sat.
It's attractively price for a "project" and seems to be all their
I'm going to check the compression(by feel) and visually inspect it.
I'm not sure if they have a tank and hose to start it with.
I was curious if there are red flags I should look out for and generally what are the sorts of maintenace that should be done to this vintage Evinrude and what are the common failings?
Thanks a lot
