I just bought 2 engines and know nothing about o/b

[jzemp]

I just bought 2 outboard engines, one is a evinrude starflite 2, 75hp? maybe? The second is a Johnson super sea horse, electric. the model number is 50522, the serial number is 05196 on the evinrude. The model number is V4Hl-17S, the serial number is J2518298. Any, Any info on these motors would be greatly appreciated. Years, horsepower ratings, Are parts interchangeable? Thank you for all your help.

1960 Evinrude and 1965 Johnson, both 75Hp. Most of the parts of the 60s 75s are interchangeable. It starts getting dicey around 1968, they had a crappy ignition system. Ohterwise the biggest difference would be mechanical vs electric shift.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the V4H the so called heavy duty model with the football shaped fat-fifty manual shift gearcase?

Im not exactly sure where the fat fifty shift gearcase is, Thanks for you help you guys these are my first outboards and i've been reading things people have been posting. It seems like outboards are tempermental, more than inboards. I'll keep my postings together, sorry.
