Nice job , looking at I didn’t think it would of fit, but it clears the cover

[@thisoldoutboard]

Thanks. I machined the plate to the exact overall thickness of the OEM part mitigate that issue. I understand all cowlings are not equal so the Gen2 plates will have a little less overall thickness.

[@edberry8166]

Definitely could use for my 7.5

How do I tell what horse power my motor is? Its definitely a 50's evinrude. But all the writing and paint is almost gone.

Shoot me an email with a picture of the power head (cover off) to [e-mail]

Now you need to come up with starter mounts for vintage OMC outboards...can't find them anywhere!!

What do you do with the original air hose fitting? Cap it off or leave it to vent? awesome idea, going to order one soon

[@thisoldoutboard]

I got a 1950s 7.5, have you worked anything out? trying to put a parts list together to convert to a single fuel line!

[@chuckcecconi4571]

Hey brother I have a 9.5 evinrude that I'm rebuilding the carburetor on, my question is the low idle screw is the speedometer cable type with a rubber o ring, do i just put the oring on without the felt/nylon washers?? Also when i pulled the plugs off the side, the bigger one had a white plastic piece in it, i believe it is A 1972 or 73. Any input would be appreciated

[@thisoldoutboard]

You need to remove and replace the felt washers. Are you referring to the welch plugs?

[@oldaccount169]

could someone leave a link to a fuel pump that will work? i just ordered the plate but idk what pump to get. I have a 10hp 55 johnson and i dont want to get one that wont fit! Thanks

I saw the Sierra pump.. It`s a little too THICK ! How does it compare ( your plate ) to the Mikuni pump ??

[@thisoldoutboard]

I’ve had zero cowl interference issues using my plate and the “thick” Sierra pump

Just ordered from you. Can you recommend which fuel pump to use?

[@rayjrdibenedetto867]

Good morning. I just watched your video and enjoyed it. I am new to boating and wanna learn more-I have a 1957 Wolverine I purchased and now bought a 57 7 1/2 horse for it also-I haven’t done anything to this motor yet but my neighbor and I redid a 1968 6 horse and got that running. Wondering if you can explain why or why not to add this fuel pump please? Thank you. Have a good day

[@thisoldoutboard]

Adding the fuel pump gets you away from the old pressurized metal gas tanks. The gas tanks are getting hard to find and eventually leak causing periodic maintenance. Plus some people can find a motor and not the gas tank so my adapter allows them to use the motor instead of it just sitting in their garage. My plate secures the fuel pump to where OMC eventually put the fuel pumps on newer motors. The fuel pumps can be found on Amazon or eBay and they are not expensive

[@rayjrdibenedetto867]

@@thisoldoutboard HI. Wasn’t sure but that helps and i have an old metal tank that worked on the 1968 & the 1957 also came with the old tank as well. Im a late starter in the whole boating thing but came across this cool boat and thought it would be cool to have the same year motor-i have done some bow fishing in a local Lake near my home that limits boat & motor size also! Are you still making these plates- if so i will keep your info if i run into a problem. Thank you for explaining and responding back to me also. Have a good day

[@thisoldoutboard]

Yup. Still am…for now. Economy is making it hard to make them affordable! www.ebay.com/itm/274374595649?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=B1emRLe8SfO&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=B1emRLe8SfO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have both a 7.5 and a 10hp that are sidelined because my pressure tank is done. I would buy both if you offered them. Keep me posted!

Can you help me convert a Johnson 4R70E from duel line to a single line

[@thisoldoutboard]

Your 1970 4 hp motor, if you gave me the right model number, is NOT a dual fuel line / pressurized fuel tank design.

[@alanlafon1076]

I got the motor from a friend of mine garage that never had the fuel tank or hoses with it do you have an email or messenger I can send you pictures of it to?

Great job if you arent a tinkerer. Was wondering if you would cut the outer perimeter to match the original odd shape.I would think it looks more original that way but thats only my opinion and input on that. Otherwise great job all around...GP

[@thisoldoutboard]

GFPOUTBDS62 it would but it would increase unit cost
