I transfered my 68 55hp Evinrude from an old Bonita to a Cobia. My problem is that the transom mounting bracket for the steering cable is about 6" long, the sleeve is one with ridges on outside and a ball for pivot. No matter how I route the cable the Cobia just doesn't seem built for this sort...
Ok, go have a pee so you won't wet your pants on this one. I went to take the old, mostly rotten floor out of my new to me (but old) Cobia and didn't read here first. Therefore I went through the hull where the floor comes to a corner just under the steering column. By the time I noticed...
I've worked my fingers to the bone and had this thing running like a scaulded dog but it sure seems to eat up the distributor caps. This will be my 3rd one in a year.<br />I've looked all over and thought I'd give a try here. Since Bombardier decided not to make these parts anymore the ones that...
I got my 1968 55hp evinrude running and seem to have only one problem left,now it's missfiring. It missfires at idle back and forth between the #1 and #2 wires. It sparks against the flywheel coming out of the sparkplug boot. I have new wires, plugs, distributor (used put on by mechanic)...
1968 55hp evinrude, finally got it running after a year of piecing it together and now it will only run with the choke on. <br />Has spark on all 3 cyl. Compression is perfect. My brother ckecked the carburetors for me and says there's no fuel getting to the top carb. I replaced a fuel line from...
Just about got this thing going and I go and lose the mounting bracket for the 3 button control switch. Any idea where I can find a used one? Anyone got one lying around, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. I got lucky and found a new switch that someone ordered and didn't pick up but can't...
I've been sitting on this motor for a year and it's time to fix it. I had it looked at and was told that the power pack, rectifier, and starter are bad. Where can I find parts for this year? Am in Panama City, Fl and having trouble locating OMC in my area (afraid I'm new to this what does OMC...
I've tried to get to the evinrude home page to get info and possibly purchase parts for my 68 Triumph. I keep coming up with a page alright that has no links, no info. Just says Evinrude 2002 with Bombadier at the bottom. I found info that says Bombadier bought them out??? Can anyone boot me in...
I bought a Bonito boat, Evinrude motor and a trailer. Boat is registered as '68 but as I search for info it seems the previous owners (somewhere down the line) have registered the yr of the motor instead of the boat. I'm trying to track down the original owner, but we all know the chances of...
Hi, I'm looking for any/all owners manuals, service manuals, and parts catalogs for my recently aqcuired 55hp 1968 Evinrude Triumph. I haven't torn into her yet, I'd rather have all my books before I start. I've taken the advice I've seen here in the forum and basically decided I should probably...
