    Shift cable

    Could use some input here. I need a new shift cable for a 1956 RDE-18. The cables I’ve found say pre 1979. Does this really cover all the models back to 1956? Thanks in advance!

    Fuel filter for pressurized fuel system

    I have a ‘56 30hp outboard and was wondering if an external fuel/water filter would be prudent with all the ethanol issues. The fuel linens from the tank look to be in great shape but they’re pre-ethanol. Should they be replaced to avoid ethanol issues. Thanks for any input.

    1956 30hp drive shaft bushing in lower unit removal.

    I’ve recently inherited a RDE-18C in pieces and getting ready to rebuild. The drive shaft bushing is badly worn and drive shaft isn’t to far behind. It doesn’t look like there was any lubrication in this area. Two questions. Is the drive shaft supposed to pick up the oil in the lower unit to the...
