Hi Cajuncook1
Thanks very much for the excellent photos.It looks in very good condition considering that it was rescued from the bottom of a lake! It certainly looks like my one.One thing I notice different, is that your one appears to have a Model No. Serial No.plate fixed to the side of the clamp bracket. Mine has only the numbers 470 1881 on the engine cylinder block which I understand shows it to be a 1947 model. I can’t find any sign of a serial no. on it anywhere.
You may be able to answer some questions for me please.(1) The tiller arm on your one appears to be chrome finished. The original arm was missing on dad’s one when he bought it and had a piece of strap steel as a replacement.Fortunately I found a correct replacement tiller years ago but it was a grey color and appeared to have been zinc or cadmium plated, so is chrome correct or not? The next question is are the slotted steel plates and the adjustable tilt bar on the insides of the clamps zinc or cadmium plated or painted like the rest of the motor? My last question is, dad never had an owners/operators/parts book of any sort and I was wondering that if you had one,would you mind helping me out with a copy please?
You mentioned that the aluminium band round the tank with Scott Atwater moulded into it is missing. I would be very happy to keep my eyes open over here in case I did find one…..as I said previously I haven’t seen another scott for many years but a group of us enthusiasts hope to do a display of old outboards at the Auckland Boat Show next year so you never know what might turn up!
What would be very helpful is if you could take another photo of your motor tilted up this time, showing the underneath tilting arrangement and tilt lock mechanism as my one is missing…… with a bit of luck I will be able to make a replacement!
Thanks again
Best wishes
