Sears Outboard Identification Help

[Pat Crowley]

I just bought an old Sears outboard and have looked on the net but cannot find the model number anywhere to identify it. Can anyone help? The model number is 571-59660. As best as I can tell, the Serial Number is 8/60C-10-7902. Can anyone tell me the year, who made it for Sears, and the Horsepower, etc. Thanks!!!

Are you sure the model # doesn't start with 574? I found a 574-59660

The 571 prefixs were elgins made by westbend
the 574 prefixs were mcculloch

Is it air cooled? If so its a 4hp McCulloch

Thanks for the info. I went out with my reading glasses, a strong light, and a magnifying glass and you were right. The Model Number does start with 574. Have found other info on the net now that I know the correct number to use.
