My outboard is more than eighty years old. Starts with a rope, of
course. One half HP. Powers an aluminum canoe. Grumman if it matters.

I'm surprised that it is still running.

I once found a much more modern SeaGull that belonged to a chap in
Singapore and really wanted it but was embarrassed to ask did he want
to sell it, figuring it was a family heirloom or something. One day I
noticed it was gone and asked where it went. Oh - I gave it to
somebody to get rid of it, he said. I told him I had been working up
courage to offer to but the thing but figured it belonged to his grand
dad or something.

Can you still locate parts for you grumman?
