      A 1937 Handitwin with this pump attachment
      was displayed at a meet this year. The owner
      said it was his dads and he believed it to be a
      factory option. He said his dad told him it will
      really move some water but he had never seen
      it run. There are no markings of any kind on it.
      My guess is its aftermarket, not factory. It wasn’t
      for sale. Anybody else seen one?

        I’ve never seen one, but if I ever have "nothing" to do,
        it would be a fun project to make one. It would be
        a hard decision as to "what" outboard I would mount
        it on…… too many options!

        Prepare to be boarded!

          It’s interesting but, what would you use it for? The pickup is to high to bilge anything. Looks well made though.

            use it at a camp site to move water from lake or well.

              I would think it would be more for supplying
              water than to remove it, emptying something.

                We had one on a Zephyr. Shot a heck of a stream of water. Used it to mix cement for the driveway and Badminton Court which would overburden our Artisan Well. Great for watering the lawn or putting out a fire. The down side it tends to dig a pit in the sand under the motor. Houghton is a shallow lake. we had to go out 200 feet to get deep enough water to start the motor. There was about two feet of water where the boat & Zephyr were tied to the dock. After a days running it was 4 feet deep under the Zephyr. . . 😀

                  Was looking at some old Tomahawk pictures on one
                  of the chapter web sights and came across this one.

                    Tubs, found an additional 1938 Evinrude catalog with the price.

                      Interesting . Thanks to both
                      of you for posting. Bet the guy that
                      had the pump would like to see them.
