Hey all,
I just recently aquired a 1949 Scott Atwater 7.5hp outboard. Model #493.
The man I bought it from said it did run, however the impeller needed to be replaced. I have a source for the impeller for $40.00. The engine turns when the starter cord is pulled. My question is, is this a decent motor worth putting the effort into or am I better off parting it out on ebay?
After working on my old clinton I have gotten the bug for these old motors but do not want to kill myself making it run.
Secondly, does anyone have a owner's manual/service manual?
Thanks,
Brian
