GW Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Hey folks, just scored a 1969 Evinrude 6hp fisherman motor to replace my 3hp. Was wondering if the 6hp will plane the boat with 2 people? Quote
HPBB Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 no. I had a 6hp johnson and a 12 foot starcaft and even with one person in it it will not plane it out. just not enought power Quote
Super User Marty Posted June 10, 2009 Super User Posted June 10, 2009 Nope, but Evinrude/Johnson motors from that time frame were great. My friend had a '69 Johnson and I had a '71 Evinrude, both 6hp Quote
TommyBass Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Ummm... not even close. It will push you along though. Quote
GW Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 Well it definitely doesn't plane! It does however beat the 3hp Johnson I had on there. Thanks for your help! Would anyone happen to know what spark plugs this thing takes? The champion website lists the plugs as RJ8C. Anyone know for sure? I don't want to ruin my 'new' motor! Quote
