Just been to the New Zealand maritime museum, had to share some of it.
I really enjoyed it, just wish I had longer to take it all in.
Enjoy 😊

What a variety. Very cool. Never seen anything like that old ELTO/Evinrude rudder-type outboard before.

I turned wrenches my whole life but never touched a boat or outboard but got interested in learning marine. And picked up a evinrude 8hp. I really appreciate your knowledge you share with us. I hope to make my first little race dingy this summer. That museum is a mechanics dream to see the evolution of them. Keep up the good work!

Mercury was still in their "i cant choose a color" phase when the mark motors were still around, that is the original paint color, but obviously the tiller bracket is from something else. You'd think they would've remedied that being a museum. Shame they didn't have any 60's and 70's mercs, they were the best.

I had a real cute Japanese " cruise n carry" 2 HP air cooled. Weghed 12lb, could hold it at arms length. Broke my heart when it fell off the back of the boat somewhere outside Fowey(UK) harbour entrance😢

Hi Mate, That’s heart breaking 😢 I remember those little things. Also know the sadness of dropping a motor off the back. cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎

What an amazing collection! You seem to have owned quite a few of them. What with your experience of outboards, I was wondering if you could give me your opinion of parsun outboards? Only I have an opportunity to buy a 5hp 2 stroke parsun at a good price but many reviews are a bit vague and ie “a friend had one and wasn’t impressed with its performance and was noisy” lol….. I know you get what you pay for but are they good enough to get a few reliable years out of them? Thanks aussie boat man. Steve from london

Hi Mate, Yeah, it was an amazing collection fit sure 👌 Well in my experience I have found nothing but problems with Parson outboards, you are better off buying an old Tohatsu or Japan built Mercury. Parson are a copy of the Japan built Tohatsu for the smaller motors and also a copy of some of the older Yamaha for larger hp, poor copies at that with low quality alloys and electronics. cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 🍻
