Ficht & Sachs 1936 Kayack motor

[pat71442]

Has anyone ever heard about or seen this motor? Single piston, 6ft driveshaft, water cooled. I have tried everything to learn something of this odd ball, without success

There’s a few in members hands. I recall an article on sidemount canoe motors including the Sachs a couple years ago in the Outboarder. I remember they had an odd-shaped water pickup – kind of like a hollow butter knife. Do you have pics?

If you don’t mind me asking, are you outside the US?

"THE BRACKET"?

.
?
yeah, the bracket, the part that you bolt on the right and left side
of your boat ( canoe or a similar small rowboat )
on that bracket you can attach the Sachs sideboard motor
in German language "halterung"
open the link and study the pictures

Those brackets are easy to find, maybe $50 max. I know nothing about it except I want one now!

good luck, but you have no idea 😯
they are very difficult to copy, even if you have one to use as an example
😆
