Hi Everyone,
I finally found a decent Rudder Twin at a decent price!!! I’m very stoked about it!
I have never owned a Rudder Twin before and I don’t know much about them other than the fact that it’s now officially the coolest outboard I own!
The guy I bought it from said that it was owned by a member on here…a guy named Bill Bynum. Bill, if you read this, please reach out to me! I’d love to make your acquaintance!
I do have a few questions….
- These engines run CCW…..correct? If so, it looks like the propeller is going the wrong way. What am I missing here? Is it possible that the wrong prop is on it?
- I posted a picture of the rear of the engine. If you rotate the flywheel CCW, the propeller spins CW when viewing from the rear, which, looking at the propeller, seems to be reverse.
- I know I am getting way ahead of myself here…..but what should the tank look like when restored? Painted or polished? The tank has starting and oiling instructions on it that are in very good shape–VERY COOL!!!
Thanks everyone!

Can’t wait to hear this thing run! But I am going to take it very slow so I don’t break something on this 100 year old engine!
