need help repair evinrude 6hp

[Always fishing]

I just purchased a used 6hp evinrude short shaft. I had it shipped ups to my house it arrived in 3 parts.

The handle that controlls the speed and folds up is completely broken off.

The lever that changes the direction(forward neutral and reverse0 is completely broken off.

My serial # is 662e-e15353.

Can the repairs be done? Approximately how much do you think it will cost?

By the way what year is this motor? Where can I get my hands on a manual?

Thanks in advance

We'll need a model # to determine year. Should be right where you read the serial#

Is this question for the purpose of determining repair cost for the insurance co? Anyhoo, the shift handle costs about a hundred bucks new from a dealer, plus an hour to install. Not knowing specifically which part is broken on the tiller, can't tell you the cost of it. It is a significant job to replace the steering bracket if that is broken. I assume you just dropped the 0 from the model/serial and it is a 6602, 1966.

I could be confuesd BUT i believe you have to pull the powerhead to change the shift lever


At least you did on the 5.5

Yes, you do have to pull the powerhead. That's the hour labor.

You can get a manual right here at the iboat store.

I am trying to get an estimate of what it will cost to fix the motor. I hope to send it off asap.

Thanks for all your help.
