    18hp OMC starter?????

    yes it will...double check the teeth on the ring gear, i think they are all the same but not 100%. I have a 1968 Johnson starter and bracket I plan to use on a 1957 18 Evinrude...my problem with this is the front cowl mounts are on the starter bracket. if your bracket had the cowl mounts on...

    I have to say Pappy that you would have to be the only person I have ever heard speak badly of composite reeds and prefer steel ones in a racing motor...So who are you on SnF and what drag boats did you run?
