There is a picture in the Old Outboard Book by Peter Hunn, taken of this motor the day I purchased it. I first ran it on a boat in May 2003 and again in May 2007. 4hp @ 4200 rpm Serial # 4705 I purchased this motor from another collector in the mid 1980's. it came with the original bill of sale and paperwork.

I first ran it on a boat in May 2003 and again in May 2007. 2 1/4 hp @3300 RPM Serial # 4C1982 These motors were made by the Bendix Aviation Corp. and are fine running air cooled motors. They are rather lightly made and easily damaged in handling. I acquired this motor in 1977 from a collector in NJ. I first ran it in 1978 and continue to use it occasionally. 2 1/4 hp @3300 RPM Serial # 4C1982 These motors were made by the Bendix Aviation Corp. and are fine running air cooled motors.

I purchased this motor on ebay from a person in NY in July 2002. It has never been started and came with the storage bag in the picture. These were briefly offered by a company from New York and drive the tiny prop via a flexible shaft. The only serial number is on the Japanese Kioritz powerhead.

It is long shaft and equipped with a tilting feature. By this time, they were equipped with a rope sheave for starting, rather than a knob. I purchased this motor from a person in a nearby town. It is an amazingly clean original motor that came with 2 wooden boxes that contained spare parts. I first ran it less than a month after the purchase, and have used it occasionally ever since. 2 hp @1000 rpm Ser. # A12553T This is a relatively late model Evinrude rowboat motor.

Its advertised weight is 17 lbs. The fuel tank is unusual in that it is a U-shaped brass tube. I acquired enough parts to put this motor together from several collectors in 1978. I first ran it at an antique meet in 1984. I have continued to run it at meets occasionally ever since. 1.1 hp @4000 rpm Serial number 303456 I believe this is the smallest Johnson ever produced.

A few early motors, including this one, were fitted with a "square" style tank similar to the tanks found on prior Thor engines. I acquired this motor, in the condition shown, from another collector in 1986. I did get it to run but it seemed to have a carburation problem. It was set aside. I hope to get back to it in the near future and try to resolve the running problem and give it a bit of a clean up. 2.5 hp @ 3800 RPM Serial #1004 Most of the motors produced, of this first year model, were equipped with a fuel tank that encircled the flywheel.

The powerhead has twice as many reed valves as a standard KE4 and uses the carburetor from the 10hp KF7. The lower gear case is the smaller size unit found on 3.6 and 5hp models. I acquired this motor from a Merc collector from IL in 2001. I first ran it in August of 2002 and have occasionally run it since.

I like to think of this as the 57 Chevy of old outboards. This motor was sold new by my father and traded back in by the second owner in 1970. I restored and first ran it in 1971. I have maintained it and run it periodically ever since. It is equipped with an aftermarket front remote steering attachment and bronze prop.

I made all the needed repairs and first ran it in July 2004. This motor comes from a time period when there was a choice of colors. This motor was the traditional Mercury Green and Dull Aluminum. Someone long ago taped off the decals and repainted the green a different shade. This motor sat in the back room of my boat dealership for many years.

He had a major collection of old outboards but was facing failing health. This motor while by no means the most glamorous, was his personal all time favorite. It is original, unrestored and always started and ran flawlessly for him and has continued to do so for me. I purchased this motor from a good friend and collector from New Jersey about 1996.

These inexpensive motors from California were marketed under several different brand names in the late 40's and thru the 50's. I want to take the powerhead apart before running because of loose bearings. I just acquired this motor Oct. 30, 2008 from a collector in Michigan.

I purchased this motor in 1979 from a collector in Maryland. It came with a packet that included the original owners manual, price tag, bill of sale, and advertising literature. It was bought new by a friend of the MD collector. I did the necessary maintenance and first ran it in 1995 and have used it occasionally at antique meets since. I was fortunate to have this motor featured in the book Beautiful Outboards by Peter Hunn. 25 hp @ 5000 rpm Serial number 1016708 This is a nice original example of the largest motor Mercury built for the Western Auto Stores chain.
