- This has got to be the coolest looking small outboard ever made! In this video, I’m still breaking the engine in. Since then, I leaned the high speed a 1/4 turn and it “clears out” or accelerates a lot faster. This thing is a hoot.
Run ‘em if you’ve got ‘em!
Very very nice. Wizard. If I remember right they were a Western Auto in house brand.
We had a WA in Perrine where I grew up. What an iconic store.
Wish we still had them. Motor sounds great. I’m impressed now when I would have laughed as a kid growing up. The big three of that era were Johnson Evinrude Mercury. (Kiekhaefer) All gone on as well. Much respect for watching after history. Keep them around to show the American spirit of yesteryear. Cheers.
Thank you. I do enjoy and appreciate our innovation from that era.
Thing looks amazing!
Thank you. It’s so much work to get them to that point!
I had a Mc CULOCH chain saw once--ran good--my parents had a table fan--WIZARD !!!!!!!!!!!
😂
worked on a lot of these years ago for a dealer lot of power sweet motor
@christinesmith7625 These little things impress me, and I love the sound of them.
@@GearHeadJP me too
I love the way they intentionally slung the engine of the back of the boat. I'm assuming it was designed like that so it easier to fish over the top of it. Really cool outboard.
Yes, me too. Despite the fact that most people think that OMC came up with the idea with their low boy 9.5hp in 1964, McCulloch had it in 1959 and Clark Troller’s came out in 1937 with a similar design!
Very nice! Thanks!!
Очень жалко. 😭
You bet!
Well, its unique for sure. Hmmm, perhaps this thing put crazy ideas into OMC's head...
I believe you are correct; especially with the 9.5.
carry a bucket when your going wide open fill with water and evac it from the bucket. that will keep the motor cool
I sold this engine.
What boat is that on? It's about as fast as my 1980 Sea King 15 on my 14 ft Wards semi v hull with a one person and some gear. Seems mighty and fast for a 7.5 horse.
1983 Sea Nymph 12K
How long is the shaft? When you say short, like only 13" short?
I’m not certain, and I sold this engine since this video. If I had to guess I’d say it’s about 1” shorter than the average short shaft.
Where did you find the optional clamp!?
eBay. I bought a few and may be listing one soon.
Me again still love the vids keep up the good work
Thanks, will do, but it’ll be another week or two before I grab some more engines off the rack and run them.
K that s fine just asking what engine would you recommend for a small fishing boat?
What size boat and what would be in it?
Какая цена этой красоты?
It’s already sold.
wow 2 mph faster than the johnson, higher revs
Little power house!
Очень интересный мотор у него румпель вниз складывается 😊
Yes it is!
