Hello all,
Long time lurker here, I have a question I was hoping one of you smart people here would be able to help me out with. I received this motor with an Old Jon boat I got as a project. This was a secondary motor that came with the boat and I have no info on it. I can not find any kind of identification tag or manufacturer sticker anywhere. From the looks I am assuming 2 stroke and somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.5hp? That is a total shot in the dark on my part though.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!
Kris

If nobody here knows the answer maybe try emailing the picture to Twin City Outboards,....

Looks like a modified Tanaka 175. Lower unit looks pretty close, as does the bit of exhaust cover that shows under the cowling...

I believe you are correct on the Tanaka 175. That at least gives me something to go on and gives me some exploded views to get this thing back running. Thanks a million!!
