- Had been looking for one of these for a couple years when I found it on Craigslist in the Fall of 2017. Ended up in good shape and just needed regular maintenance and a recoil repair. Really nice great running motor. Very happy with this one. It's a keeper!

Thank you. The sound of the motor starting and running brings back wonderful memories.
I'm glad my video could bring back some great memories for you. Thanks for watching!
I've just purchased a 1981 15hp Evinrude, it's a runner but I'm giving it a birthday with new prop shaft seals, bearing housing O-Ring and Water Pump. Can't wait to get it on a boat and head out fishing. Read so many positive things about these outboards, and to think I bought it knowing practically nothing about them. I'm so pleased with the purchase
They are excellent motors. The one thing that happens sometimes with them is the upper water tube grommet (under the powerhead) will sometimes swell up and partially block the flow of water into the powerhead causing them to overheat. This is especially prevalent in ones that have seen saltwater use, but can happen to any of them. If the engine has been run hot in the past it is more likely. Just be sure to regularly check the temperature of the powerhead while running the motor when you first start using it after getting it all serviced. My '79 turned out to be fine and your '81 likely will be too. It's just something to watch and be aware of. Good luck and have fun with your new motor. In my opinion these are some of the very best fishing outboards ever built even if not my favorite motors to work on. Not bad to work on either, but everything is packed very tightly under the cover. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful piece of machinery. Lighter than these newer 4 strokers
Thank you. Yes, these are pretty much the epitome of the fishing outboard in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
That things just keeps revving up and up and up! Nice and quick!
Gyppor yes it does. It just keeps unwinding and the boat goes faster. It runs great and is fun to run on the boat. Thanks for watching!
Ben, that motor is HEALTHY !
Ron Baker Yessir! It's a good one. I want to try a new prop on it. It scoots pretty good even with the old prop. It's a keeper!
THOSE WERE SUCH A BEAST OF A SMALL ENGINE!!!
Yes, they are quite strong and very compact. They're very densely packed and deceivingly heavy for their size. Thanks for watching!
Nice job on the evinrude
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Had a Johnson 78 back in the day, high revving engine :)
Excellent engines. Yes, they definitely do turn up high RPMs. They really scream compared to the earlier generation of outboards. Thanks for watching!
If you look on other videos, I see the pull cord handle is different. The one you have I believe should be and is the original that comes on the motor. Others are the thinner ones. I actually like this one better. Just a style preference. I'm picking this motor up Friday or Saturday after searching for 12 years. I'd like to swap out the handle though to this original one if possible haha
Yes, this motor has the correct and original rope pull handle. This pull is still available new, at least until stock is depleted with the cessation of Evinrude production. Reproductions of this handle are currently made too. I like this pyll better than some of the aftermarket ones available also. Great that you found your motor after searching for so long. Good luck with it and thanks for watching!
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 Yes sir, that's what I thought, that this was the correct one. I think you get better pull out of it as well. My grandfather's was this way and I'm trying to get it as original as possible. Now as far as the Evinrude 2 cycle oil mix, do you think the production of that will be halted as well? Or should I be okay running different 2 cycle mix? I've always used the Evinrude oil
@@randyhules3369 They may continue production of the oil since there are so many Evinrude engines out there. The parts may continue too, but who's to say how far back they will produce parts for, or who will handle the parts business. There are a lot of unvalidated rumors flying around out there now. As far as using other 2-stroke oils, any TCW-3 rated outboard oil is OK. I was using Pennzoil fully synthetic until they stopped making it. I use primarily Amsoil fully synthetic outboard oil now with great success. Pretty low odor and low smoke even when mixed at factory reccomended ratios of 24:1 and even 16:1 on my classic OMC 5.5s. It is biodegradable and almost zero carbon fouling even with an oil heavy mix.
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 well I definitely appreciate the info. You actually answered a few questions I originally had anyway. Was gonna ask about production of parts and what oil I can still get if they by chance do stop producing it.
You're very welcome.
Would this push a 1648 boat pretty well? I’ve got an opportunity to get one that’s in pretty good shape. Any idea what kind of speed I could expect?
I assume you are referring to a 16 foot riveted aluminum flat bottom jon boat with a 48" beam. I would expect a similar speed to what I got in this boat. This one is a 14 foot riveted aluminum semi vee. There very nice motors. Thanks for watching!
Sweet!!
joe smith Thanks! This turned out to be a really nice motor. Glad to have this one in the herd. Thanks for watching!
Is that motor one of them with the plastic carb? It does seam to rev up nice. Good one to sell, it should bring some good money.
dale
Labrador Guy Hi Dale! This one still has the all metal carburetor. It is a very good, strong running motor. I had been looking for one of these for a few years when I ran across this one. It would bring good money if I sold it, but this one is a keeper! Thanks for watching!
Is that a safety chain I see on the motor? If so where do you anchor it in your boat?
Yes, that is a safey chain hooked to the motor. In this boat the other end is anchored to a stainless steel eye bolt that passes through the transom knee brace. Inhave the same setup in my Aerocraft P-12 and my Meyers Aquabird. My Sea Nymph 14R has the chain anchored to one of the bolts that passes through the transom pad to the inside of the hull. The Alumacraft K doesn't have one yet. Thanks for watching!
She is a runner, keep that one...
kramden Thanks Don! Yes, I have every intention of holding on to this one. It's definitely a keeper! Thanks for watching.
Just picked one of these for $300. Does reverse lever only work when it’s running? The lever moves forward fine but does not go past neutral or am I doing something wrong
And what’s the mixing ratio
The clutch dog is not meshing in bot directions with the gears at rest. If you move the lever toward reverse while turning the prop you will geel.it fall into engagement. The mix ratio is 50:1 with TCW-3 2-stroke outboard oil. Thanks for watching!
Old JohnnyRude so I have to fix this. What do I need
@@bee2333 What do you have to fix? When the engine is running the gears are always moving. The no-mesh issue goes away when it is running. When you rotate the prop by hand when the engine is off it just rotates the clutch dog until it meshes with the stationary gear. Is there another problem with the motor?
Old JohnnyRude I just got the motor today. I just know my other motor I can switch back and forth without running but you explained it to me now. So what your saying is once the motor is idling it will go in reverse normally correct? Other then that I don’t see anymore issues. I just picked this up for $300
how much are those worth? im going to look at a small john boat with one of these, im excited
It depends a lot on the area you are in. Here in SE Lower Michigan these sell for between $700 and $1100 in good running condition. They are wonderful motors. Lots of power in a small package and easy to fish over. Thanks for watching!
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 im in north central florida, the boat is actually from Michigan lol heres a link to the ad ocala.craigslist.org/boa/d/dunnellon-14ft-aluminum-freshwater-boat/6831915744.html
holly shit, i have a 1955 alumacraft fd / 1977 15 hp evinrude lol funny i was like this boat looks familiar.. the back esp... i had to drill out rivits to get the damn transom wood out lol im restoring it atm
My FD is a '71. Yes, thebrivets have to be drilled out of the transom splashwell braces to replace the wood in the Aqueduct transom. They are extraordinarily rugged boats though. I am a big fan of the transom design and the classic Alumacraft boats in general. The 1977 thru about 1992 OMC 15s are about the pinnacle of fishing motors in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
@@oldjohnnyrude8404 i keep reading people talk about how good those engines are! sweet
She’s a great runner! Seems to be fast moving. Have a 74 version up on my channel if you ever want to check it out. You sure move with you and your kiddo!
Yupper! This is a great runner for sure. It scoots along nicely for a 15hp. I need to get my '89 Johnson 9.9 on the lake one of these days for a ride. Trying to do it before the season is over but I probably only have a couple more outings left. Thanks for watching!
Old JohnnyRude I’ll definitely stay tuned!
Do you still have this motor? Do you sell these?
I do still have this motor. I sell a few motors, but this one is not for sale. It's a keeper for me. Thanks for watching!
How much gas does it use?
This one is pretty easy on fuel for a two stroke. I get quite a few miles out of a 6 gallon tank. It probably but a a couple gallons an hour at it close to full throttle. My 50s and 60s 18s use probably twice as much fuel as this 15. Thanks for watching!
What mix ratio do you happen to use thannks
I have one of these on a 16 foot boat, but mine smokes like a 75 year old grandpa.
Maybe it needs a tune up, or a less smokey oil in the mix. With a good oil mixed at 50:1, there should not be much smoke once the engine is warm. Thanks for watching!
