Re: Old outboard motors
I borrowed this pic from the web.
Back in the mid 70's I worked with a guy that was retiring and moving to Arkansas. He had a 14-foot Aluminum Boat with a trailer made from 2" Ridged Electrical Conduit and a Scott Atwater Outboard on it just like this one, He didn't want to make any more trips than possible back there, so he asked me if I wanted it.
Hell yeah! I'll take it! I used that thing for probably 4-5 years before the bottom end froze up on it. I tried many boat shops around to get it repaired but simply no parts available was the standard answer.
It sat under my work bench for probably another 2-3 years when my neighbor across the road bought it for a wall hanger in his shop. Last time I was over there it's still hanging there on the wall.
