    Picked up a 1971 6hp Evinrude Fisherman

    (Noticed I haven't posted in awhile; I'd say this is a good welcome back post...) A friend of mine is moving house and was cleaning out his outbuildings and had a couple of old outboards stashed.

    Rewiring Question - 7 pin to 4 pin

    G'day, My truck came with a 7 pin receptacle on it that is now pooched. I've been using a 7 pin to 4 pin adapter to tow the family Glastron to and from the lake. Can I cut off the old 7 pin receptacle and wire on a 4 pin? From what I've seen the wiring looks similar, just the 7 has extra...
