Same guy that I sent you his number in pm about the e rude

Thanks, Bearcat. I will call him.

UPDATE: I got my 1986 Evinrude 40 hp fixed at Hansen’s motor repair in Northfield. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I had called Roberts Marine and Robbinsdale Marine and they said I had to wait 4 and 6 weeks respectively to get my boat in. Then I called Steve Hansen and he said bring it in right away and he had it all fixed by the next day. He repaired the reverse lock and removed the VRO oil injection system. And his price seemed reasonable. He specializes in older motors. I highly recommend Hansen’s.

Thanks for all the responses. I will just get the 91 and forget about it.

I don’t mind a few ripples as I am a fairly experienced whitewater paddler. But I want to fish more than navigate rapids. So I am looking for mostly flat with an occasional ripple.
