Re: 40 hp west bend golden shark 40
What do you want to know? West Bend motors were made by West Bend Aluminum Company, yes the pots and pans people. They sold out to Chrysler, yes the car company, and Chrysler sold it to US Marine, the Bayliner Boats company, as part of the first government bailout of Chrysler. At that time the name was changed from Chrysler to Force. The company was sold again to Mercury, who continued the Force name for awhile, then dropped the whole thing.
There is a Chrysler/Force forum on this website.
