Recoil casting and Lower unit interchange 1955 15 Evinrude

[outbdnut2]

I recently got a 1955 15 Evinrude with the lower half of the lower unit and the propshaft and gears missing. Do any of the lowers from 10 HP models of that era interchange?
–
All the mounts are broken off the recoil casting – what others models, if any, interchange?
Thx,
Dave

Are you anywhere near NJ? I have a ’53 15HP with all the parts you need….

If I’m not mistaken, 1955-57 Johnson 10 HP and 1956-57 Evinrude 10 HP lowers should interchange, and on the recoil 1953-55 Evinrude 15 and Johnson 10 horse up to 1955. The earlier year recoil housings were more open but I believe the mounting was the same.

No – I’m in Minnesota, but thx for the offer.

Thanks for the info – I’ve got a couple of 1953 QD 10 HP parts motors – I’ll dig them out and see what fits.
