This book covers such outboard motors as: Caille, Champion, Evinrude, Flambeau, Johnson, Martin, Mercury, Scott-Atwater, and Waterwitch. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Antique outboard motors have a mystique much like vintage cars, and the hobby of collecting and restoring them has a devoted following. The Old Outboard Book opens with the fascinating history of the outboard motor, which began in 1887 when the first patent was awarded for a self-contained steam engine. Peter Hunn then provides expert advice on where to find antique motors, how to identify them, and how to restore, maintain, and operate them. The heart of the book is Hunns unique "Big List" chapter, which identifies and details every known American outboard ever made, from the beginning of the industry through the early 1960s. This is the only complete identification guide for antique outboards in print. Later sections include a pricing and rarity guide, a complete model-year list, and an appendix listing spark plug specifications and fuel-oil ratios for scores of old engines. This third edition, completely updated and bigger than ever, remains the only book of its kind. It includes 70 additional long-forgotten American outboards, as well as vintage motors from around the world, including France, the UK, Russia, Japan, and Scandinavia.Finally, the new edition, for the first time, covers engines built between 1960 and 1975 as well as pre-1960 models.
