Re: What is this? Early stern drive?

It looks to me like the entire transom assembly is missing. I don’t see what the drive would attach to, to adapt it to a transom. That being said, I have no idea what most of the extra parts do….I see what you mean about the possibility of tilting sideways but I still can’t envision exactly how. Very interesting piece. I thought I’d seen all the old drives but not THAT one!

Long live American manufacturing!
