[@borntofishfishtillidie6454]

Love your videos im a new in to boating. Just bought my first boat that came with this exact motor. I been doing research because I notice water going inside my lower unit. And you have everything ❤ little details. I have learn alot from you. So now I know what to do and look for. Thanks man you are the best 👌 🙌 outboard teacher.

The 55 is such a good motor.. never seen a short leg/short shaft like this. Pretty cool

[@BrandonsGarage]

I actually have a better one. This one was supposed to be for parts. Those videos will come soon enough.

Could you go over on how to wire a 1976 Evinrude 135hp I’m so confused specifically with the terminal block and power pack

[@agentriceyagentstufu3519]

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. Can you tell me what the required battery (AH) is needed for this particular outboard? Thanks

[@Justin-kx3jh]

Hey bud love the videos!!! I have a 88 48spl evinrude. Both cylinders are at 125psi even...is that a good compression or too low? Thank you in advance

[@justinolivier8510]

Great compression and great motor!

[@Gmacrone]

Without going to far down the rabbit hole could you describe what is the difference between the 50hp E50BEL CNR (1982) and 55hp version of this engine? I could see no external differences.

[@artsmith103]

Thanks for the narration and number display of 177lbs.

[@mariusmarius9984]

hello.evinrunde 40hp can be converted to 60hp

[@igotmesothelioma]

Do you trust that harbor freight compression gauge? Mine's like 30psi low

[@johnbladykas4454]

If you wanted to buy this motor as a parts motor? What would likely have to pay range?

[@BrandonsGarage]

Well, depends on where you live. In an area like Tuscon, AZ where your hours away from a large body of water, boats are a little more scarce; thus the value of an engine is decently higher. In an area will lakes everywhere, outboards are more plentiful and thus a bit cheaper. At the time, this engine was $110, given the condition, that was about right.

wellll id kinda like to know how you take off all the wiring harness and still get spark-i know how to jump the solenoid but not what to connect to get fire=ie hot wire an outboard-on the old points engines-car and trucks- you just ran a wire from positive baterry side to the positive of the coil-somebody school me-

[@BrandonsGarage]

Its all self contained, harness is there to activate the starter solenoid, choke/primer, temp sender, and stop circuit. The engine will operate just fine without it. Flywheel is turning, spark is generating.

[@storyoc]

@@BrandonsGarage hey thanks-sooo welllll den if i give it gas and its running how can i stop it????---like making a kill button-what wire to ground????--prob could choke it down-rather ground it---i got old rudes wo controls i troubleshoot and is a hassel to set up by my boat to use its harness-

[@mijead00]

Hi I want to start by thanking you for good videos. Why do you weigh the engines?

[@BrandonsGarage]

Do you know what your engine weighs?

[@rodvasquez2747]

Brandon's Garage 79 lbs

[@rodvasquez2747]

Will you please make this a project motor and not a parts motor. A 55 short isn't common.

[@BrandonsGarage]

Didnt see the next video? Back to the drawing board on this thing.

[@paulsheppard3158]
