Thank you Frank for your reply! I found this motor recently and it is a mystery to me, but after routine gearcase, lube and magneto adjustments, it runs and shifts and pumps H2O nice. Original paint and decals in good shape and say “Hiawatha 12”. Not at all sure it is a 1958 motor. Just my limited research showed a “Hiawatha” was made in 1958. There are no rubber motor mounts like similar OMC motors. The Transom Mount ID plate has the following info: Gambles, Gamble Skogomo Inc., Minneapolis * Gambles, Western Auto Supply Co. , Los Angeles
