Ok guys been spending my time on restoring the '67 80hp to sit inside the '62 75hp housing so it looks closer to the year of the '60 Clipper. I was able to get the color matched from good paint on the exhaust housing. The problem comes with the cover. Below is what I saw at the ST. Michael's ACBS Show yesterday.

Ok so here's mine.

Sorry mine are a little out of focus. So what color scheme is correct? The one I have doesn't look like it was ever painted like the one from the show. I can't seem to find the correct scheme. Does anyone have an Evinrude brochure for '62? The one in the Glassic Library is for '61. Did they change in '62? Mine just doesn't look like it was ever that dark on top at any time.

Suggestions anyone?

Bob

This shows a close up side view of the '62 like yours if you haven't found it?

Maybe it was painted white on top to keep from burning hands in the summer? Maybe
