Seahorse is a mascot. There wasn't really a "Seahorse" line, it just
worked its way into the vernacular.

I had a 5.5 hp Seahorse....light green and ran like a champ some 50 years
after it was first manufactured. My daughter tore up the prop several years
back when taking the inflatable through some rocky shallow water. I ended
up selling the outboard, broken prop and all, to an antique outboard
collector for $100.
