What Year?

[CONRON13]

I Have A 7513 (16045). The Cover Reads "wisperpower Aquasonic Fleetwin. Internet Info States That 7513 Is A 1953 Sportwin. But By The Cover Its A 1955. Wrong Cover? I Am Doing A Total Restore And Need A Repair Manual But Now Not Sure Which Year To Buy. Any Info Appreciated. Also, Best Place For Manual And Parts?.

Re: What Year?

The model # is for a Evinrude 7.5 1953.

Should look like the one at this link:

1955 looks like this link:

Re: What Year?

Try kencook.com for a manual. Go by the model number. It's not unusual for a few parts to be swaped in over the years. No major parts are likley to be available anymore, but some normal maintenance parts should be. Hopefully it's the first year of the magneto they used for decades since. You can find a lot of those parts right here on iboats for prices you can't find elsewhere.

It Looks Like The 1955 But Has The Serial #of The 1953 So I Think Someone Did Switch The Cover.

You can get the correct bonnet, and any other major parts (used) from tcoutboard.com
