New Guy! First motor!

[Yellowstone]

Thanks. I used your advice and did measure each and popped it off last night and it did come off with a POP! Sense of relief over that. Funny how that’s what was stressing me out the most. Just like with the impeller. One of the screws was stripped a bit on it’s head to get in there and a friend came to the rescue with an impact screwdriver. Will have to invest in some more tools like that soon. Maybe Christmas gift ideas for the wife if I giver her exact specs! Ha.

Here’s the book that got me started:

My first motor was a 1957 Evinrude Lightwin, almost exactly the same motor that you have. This was a great choice as your first motor as you can get the basics down. From here you can graduate to more features like motors with shifters and remote gas tanks.
