This appears to be the
very first serial number motor of this type to be
imported into the US from England. It uses a Villiers
engine and has the capability of driving a boat via the
straight shaft drive, or it could be used to pump water
by replacing the propeller shaft assembly with a water
pump. I purchased this outboard and waterpump from a
collector in NJ in 1975. I first ran it in 1976 and
occasionally ever since.
