        Spring is almost here, and you and that cute motor
        should be “put putting” in the water soon!

         

        Prepare to be boarded!

          Tubs, very nice work, indeed.  I see the creative fix for the “always” broken tiller handle clamp. My Cub also has a metal match plate holding the tiller handle. Yours is best, looks like it incorporates a large hole for a safety chain clip…. good idea.

            Tubs, looks and runs great. Good luck in the barrel. That’s where mine fell apart.
            Just for fun, could you measure the compression? That should be a hoot.

               Joe, What I have on there is this aluminum block, which I got on a motor, at least 15 years ago. I searched for Ray in the members index at that time and he wasn’t listed. The plate on top of it is for my extended tiller. However on the OA-55 I’ve been working on there is part of an aftermarket device to attach a line should the motor jump off the back of the boat. It seems they are still in business. Bob I’ve sent you a PM .

                  Once again Tubs. Well done!

                  I’m sure you will have a lot of fun with it.

                  I too would love to know what the compression reading is.

                    Compression is 70 lbs. spinning it with my battery drill. With the small dia. rope sheave on this motor I could spin it faster pulling it over by hand, which might add another 5 lbs., but I lost the small starting rope I had for these.
