  • This little guy amazes me. It runs very well, is super light and portable and goes like a bat outta hell. I am also fond of the streamline looks of it. If you come across one of these…save it and fix it!

      The Elgins came in many “flavors” depending on who had the contract with Sears at the time. They’ve grown on me.

    We don't and have never had many of these engines in Australia. We get the mainstream big names. All these oddball outboard motors you show us are wonderful. Thank you for this content. I am enjoying every second ❤

    These were not odd in late sixies and early seventies they were all over the lake I lived on. They were lighter, durable and easier to use than the omc and mercury products of the day. These were also rarely in my uncles repair shop. On the lake like the other brands Mc made engines for a variety of companies with different names. One of my favorites was the flying Scott and this white Elgin Chrysler marine also made a variety of engines for different companies Montgomery’s wards sea king sears game fisher ththiervown model another last attempt force before merging that branch with Brunswick mercury. A lot of engines with different names were made by Scott Mcculloch under different brands. These were wonderful engines nothing they had o over mercury and omc they were lighter and more durable speaking on engines to 18 hp range. That were across the lake during fishing openers and the fall walleye season. Nothing quite like those Watery summers.

    I had a 7.5HP McCulloch "suitcase" engine. It was a heck of a motor until my Dad put it on a high transom boat and smoked it.

    If you can draw the bit that needs padding there are tonnes of places that could 3d print it in hard rubber TPU for you.... it can also print gaskets.....

      Agreed. I actually have the two clamp conversion somewhere that I can install on this one.

      We sunk one in Mullet Lake and pulled it out, pulled the plugs, cranked it and it restarted in 3 pulls.

    What foam do you like to use for the cowling? And next time it would be fun for you to demonstrate those little water bailers on the side if that has it!

    • @GearHeadJP
      @GearHeadJP  2 месяца назад

      I typically use the 5mm foam with self adhesive backing available on eBay.
