Keeping these older motors alive is a part of the circular economy and hence being environmentally friendly. Keep 'em running and the good vibes on. They are great! 👍🏻
At 57 I can relate to the story of you and your dad, my story is very similar but was with my grandpa and his 1962 Evinrude Sportwin. He let me take the tiller when I was 5 or 6 and it is a memory that is burned Forever in my mind. That started a lifelong hobby with boats and vintage outboards that still is with me today. Two strokes Forever! Great video.
Great story! Part of this hobby for me is hearing those stories when finding first owner motors. It certainly ads some collectors value to them, in my opinion. This orange Merc is running perfectly, and I love seeing it out on the lake!
Mercury’s are very nice motors I will never understand why they’re so complicated to work on even into the 2000’s they still are weird compared to others

Thanks for sharing your memories. The piter pater of a small Omc brings back memories of fishing with my grandfather.

Hey great story and never listen to the naysayers and angry wannabee's it's a privilege to be your friend
I would compare this idle to any stupid four stroke of today
I agree! Thank you for the confirmation.
I guess they won't like my old British seagull !
