Project Boat

Hi

Only my second post so go easy on me!

I am doing up a couple of boats the first a 14ft DeJon and the second a 17ft Dell Quay Dory. Both the boats just need a sand, primer and antifouling then a damn good clean.

The questions I have are related to the engine, it's a Evinrude Fisherman. I believe this is a 6HP engine? Can someone tell me how to service this? I'm guessing, clean the spark plugs, clean the filter etc?

Also would the correct mix be 50:1?

Ideally I'd like to have a 20HP plus outboard to use but the cost right now is just too much for me, unless someone's got one knocking about they don't want or can sell to a new boat chap for cheap!?!

there's a whole forum dedicated to the Evinrude Fisherman.

with links to the manuals.


if you got Youtube and search on Evinrude Fisherman, there are loads of "How To..." fillums.


Best of luck doing up the boats. Both of them are good and strong.
