From the '50s to the early '60s, they were West Bend engines. 1984 and earlier were Chrysler engines. Sometime around 1984 due to a government bail-out, Chrysler was forced (No pun intended) to sell its outboard line to US Marine and the name was changed to Force, while the engines remained essentially the same.

Do you have a model number for the motor?
