I have two 1972 65 horse Evinrudes. A 65272S and a 65273S.
One is a short shaft and the other is standard.
I have some questions.
Do the model numbers indicate the shaft length (transom height)?
The 2 lower units are different. The water intake on one has slots and the other has round holes. (I couldn't upload a pic)
They also have different water pumps. Are these lower units correct for my 2 engines or is one from a previous model year?
Is there a trick to threading the wires through the hole at the bottom of the powerhead? The wires go through, but the part with the spiral grommet (my terminology) doesn't want to go very deep.
