I bought an old Arkansas Traveler boat with an Evinrude 6 hp motor a couple of years ago. I had all intentions of fixing it up similar to some that I'd seen on you tube, but I decided to deal with the motor first. I bought this rig at an estate sale and they did not have an operator's manual for the motor. Now for the humor, I've never owned a boat and motor, and have no idea how to operate the engine. Number 1, I don't know the gas/oil ratio. All I can find is a nearly invisible mark that shows a gas pump, and says 100/1. I can probably figure that one out per a 5 gal. tank, but the controls on the tiller are worn and I can't read them. I've been to the only boat places in my area to find out, one says only his mech. knows and he's out sick, and the other( an Evinrude Dealer) seems to be extremely rich, for he's never seems to be open when I'm in that area. I tried e-bay and amazon to find a book, but apparently they are a coveted item. I need some help y'all. Do any of you have any information that I can use? If it helps, the motor is an e6rrcs model made in Belgium,........according to the plate on the side of the shaft. I thank you all very much, Gary Anderson..(Levelwindluver66)
