Just got an outboard off my uncle- its a 6hp jonno for the punt as i need more capability of exploring more blackwood areas as i can.
Looking back through some previous posts i found its the same donk as nath18 had originally on his boat. A 1970 model or very close...
Apparently my old man and my uncle first used it on a dinghy for crayfishing off redgate down here- so obviously it would have been reliable for that.
The best thing is that the old evinrude i still have is a 1970 model and is actually the same motor. So i have two working motors and am planning to use the less aged jonno as the main motor and use bits off the evinrude for parts if i ever need them.
So far she has recieved two new spark plugs and i have changed the prop to the less damaged evinrude one.
Should be good fun zooming round the blackwood this summer :D
