Description

OEM Part Number

With the fluted stainless wrap-around cowl, these outboards define Mid-Century style. The Mark 55's were rated at 40 horsepower but routinely developed much more. They can run circles around a "JohhnyRude" with the same rating. This Mark 55EL (for electric - long shaft) is 12-volt electric start and incorporates a built-in alternator to charge the boat's battery. This motor is the rare long-shaft for boats with a 20" transom

This very restorable motor is complete with good compression. All castings are good with no cracks or breaks. A bronze prop in good condition is included and can be exchanged to suit your boat. At a minimum, the new owner should expect to replace the spark plugs and water pump impeller, rebuild the carburetors and fuel pump and change the gearcase oil. For a Concours show motor however, the cosmetics would have to be addressed

We also can supply a new electrical harness, new throttle/shift cables and a good used remote control box at extra cost

Feel free to contact Marc at 951-461-9005 or 562-505-5097 (cell) if you have any questions
