ISBN: 9780760315521.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnthusiasts of vintage outboard motors fall into two categories. First, there is the tinkerer or sportsperson who buys an old motor at a yard sale with an eye on restoring and actually using it. Second, there is the enthusiast who performs a complete, authentic restoration for the pure satisfaction of returning a vintage piece of machinery to its original condition. Often this second motor will become a static display, taken out for the occasional boat show.This how-to book caters to both groups by presenting case studies covering five of the most typical motor types: an antique 1922 Johnson Waterbug, a classic 1955 Evinrude Sportwin 10, an air-cooled bargain 1957 Comanco, a late-model 3.9hp single 1964 Mercury, and a 1950s electric Minn-Kota. The case studies discuss principles applicable to all vintage outboards and are preceded by chapters explaining how to choose an older motor, anatomy and mechanics, and equipping a shop. Following the case studies, the author addresses routine maintenance and usage, including troubleshooting tips and model-specific characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Motorbooks International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213001646133,"sku":"ByrdShop_0760315523","price":497.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780760315521_d3076b9d-a55a-4c51-857e-13d0de111219.jpg?v=1779910354","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-classic-outboard-motor-handbook-motorbooks-workshop-9780760315521","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
