  • This has got to be the coolest looking small outboard ever made! In this video, I’m still breaking the engine in. Since then, I leaned the high speed a 1/4 turn and it “clears out” or accelerates a lot faster. This thing is a hoot.
    Run ‘em if you’ve got ‘em!

    Very very nice. Wizard. If I remember right they were a Western Auto in house brand.
    We had a WA in Perrine where I grew up. What an iconic store.
    Wish we still had them. Motor sounds great. I’m impressed now when I would have laughed as a kid growing up. The big three of that era were Johnson Evinrude Mercury. (Kiekhaefer) All gone on as well. Much respect for watching after history. Keep them around to show the American spirit of yesteryear. Cheers.

    I love the way they intentionally slung the engine of the back of the boat. I'm assuming it was designed like that so it easier to fish over the top of it. Really cool outboard.

      Yes, me too. Despite the fact that most people think that OMC came up with the idea with their low boy 9.5hp in 1964, McCulloch had it in 1959 and Clark Troller’s came out in 1937 with a similar design!

    Well, its unique for sure. Hmmm, perhaps this thing put crazy ideas into OMC's head...

      I believe you are correct; especially with the 9.5.

    What boat is that on? It's about as fast as my 1980 Sea King 15 on my 14 ft Wards semi v hull with a one person and some gear. Seems mighty and fast for a 7.5 horse.

    How long is the shaft? When you say short, like only 13" short?

    • @GearHeadJP
      @GearHeadJP  2 месяца назад

      I’m not certain, and I sold this engine since this video. If I had to guess I’d say it’s about 1” shorter than the average short shaft.

    carry a bucket when your going wide open fill with water and evac it from the bucket. that will keep the motor cool

      Thanks, will do, but it’ll be another week or two before I grab some more engines off the rack and run them.

    • @GearHeadJP
      @GearHeadJP  9 месяцев назад

      What size boat and what would be in it?
