Motor number two…

It appears to me that they are both 571.22 1939 Waterwitch twins. One appears to have the wrong rope sheave from a 1936. I think between the two motors I have everything but the faceplate. I understand that they are hard to come by.

Is either of the fuel caps correct?
Does anyone have some information on these motors? Pictures?

I have one Ian. I can send you some pics of mine.

I don’t believe the fuel cap on the first one is original?

That would be great Chris thanks. Is your’s a twin as well?

I’m hoping that the lower unit from one of these will fit the Waterwitch 1937 single 571.10 that Wayne has.

I’m hoping that, too! I have very little information on these motors. I believe they have Bendix ignition. That’s about all I know. I’m sure between the two we can make a runner.

The exhaust is the only thing that’s different
from the 1937 so you have plenty of parts there.
The one rope sheave is a 1936 as you have
pointed out. The spacer between it and the
flywheel is also from a 36 and was only used
that year. Only 1893 twins were made 1936
and few survive. Quite a few parts are unique
to the 1936 like that spacer. I have one that
is mostly correct. Not at home so I can’t provide
pictures. These pictures are from the Waterwitch
website. This is probably the nicest surviving
1936 but is has a couple parts missing. The 1936
twin is the only one that’s uncommon. Later
models are not hard to come by especially
in the condition yours are in.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
