"I have a 65hp 1973 electric shift. I heard from Hannay's Evinrude/Yamaha in Minneapolis, that OMC discontinued supporting the electric shift parts in 2002. They told me the only thing left out there was probably " used". another marina said that wasn't entirely true, because of after market stuff. Twin City Outboard said they had whole lower units for them, but that they would recomend 1975 and newer if your looking to buy because the trim n tilt feature and the mechanical shift parts were widely available."
