[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 493899, member: 3278"] [B]Repaint? Trust me when I tell you. Mercury outboards were all black back then. No way in He** was OMC going to do a promotional paint job in black! The work is pretty simple on this engine except for the shift rod ORing and that is not a big deal. There are complete reseal kits out there for the gearcase but it is a safe bet the shift rod oring will be the culprit if you find signs of water in the gearcase. Yes, 1958 was the first year for the "Super Quiet" exhaust system and it was truly remarkable how much quieter they were. I love mine and have put probably a couple thousand miles on it if not more so far. Your OEM carb kit # should be either a 439074 or 075. Getting harder to find now but ebay should have them from time to time...start searching now. [/B] [/QUOTE]
