I would appreciate anyone telling me who sold the west bend outboard and who manufactured it. I think it was Montgomery and ward but not sure . :confused:

Re: west bend motor

West Bend was a pretty large engine builder in the 50s. They built small air cooled 2 strokes, chain saws, utility engines and outboard engines. They were marketed as West Bend, Sea King and many other brand names.<br /><br />Chrysler bought them out sometime in the 60s, changed the name of the outboards to Force later and finally they were bought out by Mercury.<br /><br />That's the best of my recall. :)
