I just experienced the very same thing you described with an old Evinrude 135 that came on a Wellcraft V17 I just bought. The motor spun unevenly and I found that the battery negative terminal got very hot while trying to get the motor to start. I put a new set of battery cables on the motor and it spun like a top. It looks like corrosion got to the negative cable at the battery end and caused more resistance than normal in that cable. I recommend you check your cables especially since you said they have been sitting for a few years.
