Re: West Bend 40hp outboard

It is a fine motor. It is the predecessor to Chrysler later forc by U.S. Marine and then force Mercury after that. Laings outboard has some parts. Also may have luck with some other Chrysler parts sources.

I think it s great you are keeping it around to live on. Think that motor is pretty straight forward with points simple carb and there are members that can make impellers if you send the hub. I get my seals from a bearing house in town…..same skf/cr seals that they made for the manufactures should the lower unit need a seal. I found that the cr/skf site will even cross the old Omc numbers to cr numbers.

Good luck
