I am a new member.  I have recently acquired a 1968 Evinrude 6HP (Yachtwin).  I am interested in restoring it.  I am a complete novice at this and I’m looking for a good starting point to begin the restoration.  Any advice you may have would be very welcome.  I found a Service Manual online which I have attached for your interest.

Thanks for any suggestions you have,

Peter MacWilliam

Here’s a link to Art Dekalb’s five point plan

for resurrecting an old motor.

OK, so you really have a 68 Evinrude “fisherman” 6hp, correct?  Yachtwin is the 3hp model.

These are great engines, and it probably won’t take all that much to make a reliable daily runner out of it.

I would start with the basics, let’s drain the gear lube and have a look at it.  Remove the two large flat head screws and let the lube drain into a clean pan.  (DO NOT remove that phillips head screw of the shift linkage will fall apart).  The lube may be brown  in color, which is OK, just old.  Water contamination is indicated by “milky colored” lube.  Raw water spells big trouble, no lube at all is bad news as well.  Remove the propeller, check for fish line in the prop shaft seal.

Next, do a compression test on the engine.  These engines don’t have much compression, so readings between 70-80PSI are normal.  Extremely low or uneven compression spellls trouble.   Now check for spark.  No/weak spark on one or both cylinders means you will need to do ignition work, but you will need special tools to get that flywheel off/on.  Finally, there is the carburetor/fuel system to look at.

So, let us know how the gear lube looks and what the compression readings are, and well will go from there.  Don

Thanks Steve, I appreciate that.  I’ll check out the link.  Should be an interesting project.

I’m from Nova Scotia, Canada.

Hi Fleetwin,

No, to me, this does appear to be a Yachtwin 6HP, according to what is written on the cover, which I will include pics of.  It does say both “yachtwin” and “6” on the cover, which I believe means it is a 6HP.  But please explain if that is not correct.

I appreciate the advice you folks have offered but when I said I am a novice, I mean a total novice.  So what you’ve written to me and the link I looked at assume I have some knowledge, which I don’t.  I’ve attached a pic of my outboard motor.  Which nut or screw would you recommend I turn first?  I expect to take it entirely apart.  I am pretty sure it needs the carb redone.  One way or the other, I will figure this out, and once I get going I will begin to understand what next step to take but right now, I have no idea.

are these the “2 large flat head screws” you referred to?  (See attached pic)

That motor is ’84 or newer, so I’m not sure the earlier service info will apply.  Can you post a picture of the model ID plate ?  The Yachtwin designation means yours is a long-shaft version.

Sure.  Can you tell me where it might be located?

I have found the I’d plate but a lot of it is unreadable.  See pic.

4 hp Evinrude Yachtwin Fuel System

  • Thread starter clueseeker
  • Start date Feb 24, 2013
  • Feb 24, 2013

I know this question is going to sound stupid, but I don't know anything about outboard motors, so here goes: What type of fuel tank and hose do I need for the older model 4 hp Evinrude Yachtwin motor I just got from a storage bldg? The motor does appear to have a fuel pump...Are the tanks and hoses all the same but have different connectors? I guess the biggest question is if the hose needs a primer bulb or not. Thanks

Re: 4 hp Evinrude Yachtwin Fuel System For any OMC without a built in tank or pressure tank setup you need a single line tank, either metal or plastic, with a bulb and an OMC single line connector.

Karasuk, Russia

What is my elevation?

More information, about karasuk, novosibirsk oblast.

yachtwin evinrude

Karasuk is a town and the administrative center of Karasuksky District in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Karasuk River 678 kilometers (421 mi) west of Novosibirsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 28,586 (2010 Census) ; 28,734 (2002 Census) ; 29,401 (1989 Soviet census) .

View on Wikipedia

What is this?

This site was designed to help you find the height above sea level of your current location, or any point on Earth. When viewed from a phone that supports altitude readings, the reading will come directly from your device altitude reading and will update automatically as you move. It will even work when your phone is offline. From a computer your elevation is loaded from our API based on your location.

What is elevation?

Elevation is a measurement of height above sea level. Elevation typically refers to the height of a point on the earth’s surface, and not in the air. Altitude is a measurement of an object’s height, often referring to your height above the ground (such as in an airplane or a satellite). While elevation is often the preferred term for the height of your current location, altitude and height above sea level are also common.

How is elevation calculated?

Using an altimeter.

An altimeter is an instrument used to measure altitude. Altitude is measured with an altimeter by calculating differences in atmospheric pressure. Inside of an altimeter is a barometer which is a device that measures pressure in the air. As you travel upwards, the pressure decreases which causes the bellows inside the barometer to expand. The bellows then give you an accurate reading of your height above sea level regardless of whether you are on the ground, in a tree, or in an airplane. Modern smartphones contain a barometer that can be used as an altimeter to measure elevation or to calculate the number of steps you have climbed.

In areas with poor GPS reception an altimeter can be more accurate than GPS-based elevation readings and do not require an Internet connection.

Using a Digital Elevation Model

Satellite data from NASA and other public agencies can be combined to create what is called a DEM or Digital Elevation Model which is a detailed list of elevation values for points on the Earth’s surface. You can then use GPS to fetch the value elevation reading in the DEM.

When we look at representations of the earth we typically see a perfectly circular sphere. But the reality is that the surface of the earth is rather corrugated, rugged and irregular. These irregularities and variations in the earth’s surface determine the acceleration of gravity, which vicariously creates the shape of the earth’s liquids. If we were to hypothetically subtract winds, tides and other external forces that alter bodies of water we would be left with something known as the geoid. It is the shape that the Earth’s surface would take if it were all one big ocean without winds or tides. The geoid is purely hypothetical though, but it is used as a reference for land surveyors to determine elevation based on what the sea-level would have been for a given point on Earth without land. This is also referred to as “height above mean sea level”.

The planet earth is extremely large and has radically diverse elevations. For example, the highest point on earth is Mt. Everest , which is about 29,000 feet above sea level. The lowest point on earth is the Mariana Trench in the Western Pacific, which is approximately 35,000 feet below sea level, which is close to seven miles deep! The location with the highest elevation in the United States is Denali in Alaska . The lowest point is the Badwater Basin , 281ft below sea level.

How do you find your elevation?

Using this website you can find out your elevation no matter where you are. How does this site determine your precise elevation? The site receives GPS data from your phone. This satellite technology is also used to determine your precise location and help you navigate in apps like Google Maps.

Your phone acts as a receiver for satellite data. The time it takes for each of the satellite signals to reach the receiver are measured in relation to each other and to the speed of light. Because each of the satellites is in a different place, the three signals can be used to estimate a three dimensional position and can determine your position on the Earth to an extremely high degree of accuracy.

Using this site you can determine elevation for any location in the world, whether you are there or not. Simply enter an address anywhere in the world and you will be given its elevation in either feet or meters.

Web vs phone elevation

When you use the site on a mobile device with a built-in altimeter, your elevation is determined by your phone’s built-in altitude reading by default (this will show up as “according to your phone”). This method may be less accurate when you need the exact elevation for your location, but has the advantage of giving you real-time altitude updates as you move. This also allows you to bookmark our site to use when you are not connected to the Internet.

When visiting from a desktop computer, or when searching for an address, your elevation is determined by your GPS coordinates based on satellite data.

Elevation Atlas

Our elevation atlas has a list of countries and cities to help you find the elevation of any location in the world. You can also use the search bar to find any location in the world.
