It has been my observation that probably 96% of boat owners have very little idea of the operation of their

motors, or what it takes to maintain them.  THEREFORE these articles are dedicated to that 4%.

 

 

Restoration of Small Obsolete
Outboard Motors

This page is designed strictly for restoration of Small Old Outboard motors.  You can call them Antique, Vintage or even Classic.  Here I have arbitrarily set a Maximum HP of 7.5hp, and a START of production date of being Pre 1975
  This links to many sources of current or obsolete/used outboard motor parts.
