    Square-tank motors or “square-tankers” is what we call the antiques that have a square-ish fuel tank mounted to the motor itself. Typically a pre-war, open flywheel, direct-drive outboard with a rope-sheave or a knob on the flywheel for starting. This term typically covers most pre-WWII outboards back to and including RBMs (RowBoat Motors). RBMs are really their own category / subcategory though. These are the earliest of the outboard motors and they have a very devoted following.
