Elgin 9hp McCulloch antique outboard AOMCI SOLD

This little guy amazes me. It runs very well, is super light and portable and goes like a bat outta hell. I am also fond of the streamline looks of it. If you come across one of these…save it and fix it!

Post modern outboard!! What a sweet design!

[@GearHeadJP]

Oh yeah!

[@GlenB1963]

We don't and have never had many of these engines in Australia. We get the mainstream big names. All these oddball outboard motors you show us are wonderful. Thank you for this content. I am enjoying every second ❤

[@GearHeadJP]

My pleasure!

[@davidyummus6259]

I used to have a Victa 125cc Outboard lol,... Don't know if you ever saw one. Cheers from an Aussie in USA.

[@GlenB1963]

@davidyummus6259 yeah mate, the ol victa jet. Not exactly true to there name ha ha. 👍🇦🇺❤️

[@GearHeadJP]

I never heard of a Victa. I wonder if any made it over here?

[@davidyummus6259]

@@GearHeadJP Australian Lawnmower Manufacturer who made their own 2 stroke engines. Had 125cc & 160cc 2 stroke engines then went to Half Crankshaft 160cc 2 stroke mower engine in early 80's,... They threw their 2 stroke air cooled mower engine on a marine lower in either Prop or Jet version

These were not odd in late sixies and early seventies they were all over the lake I lived on. They were lighter, durable and easier to use than the omc and mercury products of the day. These were also rarely in my uncles repair shop. On the lake like the other brands Mc made engines for a variety of companies with different names. One of my favorites was the flying Scott and this white Elgin Chrysler marine also made a variety of engines for different companies Montgomery’s wards sea king sears game fisher ththiervown model another last attempt force before merging that branch with Brunswick mercury. A lot of engines with different names were made by Scott Mcculloch under different brands. These were wonderful engines nothing they had o over mercury and omc they were lighter and more durable speaking on engines to 18 hp range. That were across the lake during fishing openers and the fall walleye season. Nothing quite like those Watery summers.

[@mattsboatyard6891]

angry little beaver, running great!!! The mcculloch outboards are all a bit under appreciated in my opinion

[@GearHeadJP]

I agree!

[@danhillman4523]

I had a 7.5HP McCulloch "suitcase" engine. It was a heck of a motor until my Dad put it on a high transom boat and smoked it.

[@GearHeadJP]

Tragic demise 😢

[@krowbar23]

I like that engine. Build more

[@GearHeadJP]

😂 I got rid of about ten of those. I had a slight addiction to them at one point.

[@MegaBait1616]

As always 👍👍............

[@GearHeadJP]

Thanks again

Wooww Amaaziing..😮😮😮

[@jackrabbit5047]

Whoa!

[@GearHeadJP]

😂

[@poepflater]

If you can draw the bit that needs padding there are tonnes of places that could 3d print it in hard rubber TPU for you.... it can also print gaskets.....

[@GearHeadJP]

Good thinking.

[@poepflater]

@@GearHeadJP you could literally throw a gasket on a flatbed scanner and scan the shape in to scale, clean in up a but and save as JPG and then print it as thick as yo ulike.

[@GearHeadJP]

Very cool

[@bebeslife4519]

What foam do you like to use for the cowling? And next time it would be fun for you to demonstrate those little water bailers on the side if that has it!

[@GearHeadJP]

I typically use the 5mm foam with self adhesive backing available on eBay.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Cool looking motor One clamp on transom not so good though.

[@GearHeadJP]

Agreed. I actually have the two clamp conversion somewhere that I can install on this one.

[@danhillman4523]

We sunk one in Mullet Lake and pulled it out, pulled the plugs, cranked it and it restarted in 3 pulls.
