Evinrude Yachtwin 4hp long shaft outboard

Post by grluecke »

I have a nifty little engine for sale that would be good for a Typhoon.

Evinrude Yachtwin 4hp long shaft outboard.

Kind of works, kind of needs some TLC...see my add on Craigslist:

These are GREAT motors! My Ty came with a non-running Johnson version of this motor. If the compression is good and it makes a spark then it's easy to turn into a reliable motor. All parts are available and reasonable; even used components on eBay. A hundred bucks is a good price IMHO. No affiliation; just think it's a good opportunity for a Typhoon owner who wants vintage power. BTW...I will only use E zero gas in mine. As such should last as long as I do.

Thanks for the "endorsement", Rich. We got it with our new Typhoon. Had it running pretty well until we put it on the boat. Used a different outboard for sailing this summer, and decided to go electric in the future.

It needs some tuning to get it to the "one-pull-and-off-she-goes" condition...
