      This motor is advertised as a 1930’s OMC.
      Any idea what model, hp, and year it might be?
      Thanks

        Looks like 1935 standard fisherman or could be a 1936 service twin both look the same.

            That sure looks like my Fisherman, mine is a ’33 battery ignition one though….

              I was looking for photos online of Fisherman’s and Standards of the 35-36 era,
              but having trouble finding them. Anyone know where they’re hiding?

                Search google images 1935 evinrude fisherman. I have some posted on Pinterest of the 1935 catalog etc. most should come up.
                There’s not a huge amount of photos of them but they are out there. The weedless version is even harder to find photos of in the 35 model.

                  it must be a Service Twin ( I have exactly the same as yours and mine has model 4161 on the ID plate )
                  based on two things;
                  the cavitation plate is a little bigger then the Fisherman
                  and the little extra outlet on the alu. muffler
                  makes it ( IMO ) a Service Twin 1936 with 4,3 hp

                  btw. I have a Fisherman too ( name on the tank decal ) but on the ID plate is model 476 and that
                  belongs to the Sportwin 1933 with 4 hp
                  so you can make a choice with all the info here on the board
                  😉

                    Thanks again for the information! I plan to look at the motor Tuesday
                    to see If I want to bid on it. The back of the gas tank looks like it
                    rolled down Mt. Everest, but it’ suppose to be "loose" and have
                    compression.

                      I looked at the Outboard Motors Corporation motor today, and found the following on the transom
                      tag……
                      4093-3119
                      I found a model 4093 on this site,
                      http://www.yankeeaomci.org/evinrudeat100.htm
                      showing it as an 1935 Evinrude 4hp.
                      Was Outboard Motors Corporation ever a separate entity from
                      Evinrude?
                      Thanks, Bucc

                        They’re one in the same Evinrude adopted the OMC name through the mid 30s after a buy out of other outboard companies but it was still Evinrude, Peter Hunns the old outboard book has more details 😎
