Evinrude-johnson-omc Heritage Brochures Website

[LIQUID NIRVANA]

If you are looking for the HERITAGE of OMC, what better place to start than with the original SALES Brochures. I am collecting them & posting them to a dedicated website. There are about 65 brochures so far. I will continue to add them as they become available. I hope to eventually have them back to 1909. If anyone would like to help with this brochure collection please contact me. I will pay any costs. Remember the EVINRUDE Outboard is 100 years old in 2008/2009. Any support is very much appreciated and will be acknowledged.

In addition to above: Also looking for Elto, Gale, Lockwood, and anything else associated with OOMC or OMC or BRP.

Excuse my ignorance Fast Fred but what is a factory FT.

[Fast Fred]

mod50 power head, on a Stinger mid, with a Nitro foot, i understand that they were white, but not clear on it, it's a Race moda, but not sure what hull they ran, i also think that you could not buy one hear, but, i 'm not sure.:cool:

I know that the 1973 model 65hp was available in short shaft & had the Nitro gearcase because I sold one. Was also the Mod 50 powerhead 49.9ci. The gear ratios were different to the 20" model & slimmer gearcase. This was in Australia.

[Roy Hodges]

Did not come available untill 1975,on the 50 hp twins and short shaft 75. the 70 horse was available in short shaft ONLY in 1974 , first year of the 70 horse. Of course i am speaking of these motors in the U.S. I do not know what happened in other countries.

[Fast Fred]

75- 76 i think, Australia , think you could get one thare, that is the only place that seems to know any thing about them.:cool: , it was someone from over there that said they are white.

1975 Johnson 75hp Short Shaft Stinger2 & 75 hp Evinrude Hustler. Sprint Drive gearcase with .536 gear ratio. Optional High compression heads were available.

This is a page from the 1975 Johnson brochure. Suggested List price was US$1840.00

1975 Johnson 75hp Short Shaft
well it was like that or the Hustler, but had the Mod50 power head and a addapter. i was told that the SPRINT is the same as the NITRO foot.

[Lars Strom]

Well..This is my SE Clerici from 1974...
this engine had the Nitro gearcase already 1974..including
factory installed Race powertrim and steering bars..

A very good and fast SE engine....made me a European SE Champion
ahead of Roger Jenkins and others..back then..

[850cc racer]

hey guys, can anyone confirm the australian released motor to the public the FT did that have the straight in front or the angled front?

[850cc racer]

Hi Lars, your SE is a mod 50? correct on a 15 inch mid with the nitro foot.. ??was that released to the public?

Hi..

The FT 19 S I raced for the first time 1976 at the European Champion ship
in Sweden had the angled front..
That was a must to make shifting possible..

[Lars Strom]

Hi Lars, your SE is a mod 50? correct on a 15 inch mid with the nitro foot.. ??was that released to the public?


No..My SE (yellow boat above) was a production 70/75 that had the nitro
gear case 1974..
Only a limited number of engines was built for the 1974 season..

1975 I used more or less the same production 75hp..
now with the nitro standard on short shaft..

[850cc racer]

Hi Lars thankyou for your reply.

What im trying to work out... was there an engine released with a 15inch midsection nitro foot but with Mod50 powerhead straight in 5over5 reed front released to the public? or was this to race teams only?

or would it be the same thing however with angled front 4 over 4 reeds to allow shiftable gearcase.-- would this be a FT 19S released to the public?

Rule---- ALL motors must be STANDARD FACTORY MODELS that are
advertised and listed in brochures manufacturers and must be freely available for sale to the public
through normal retail outlets. Motors must be designed specifically for normal recreational boating use
and not “special run” or limited race models..... was the mod 50 a limted race model? i dont think so?

QUESTION limited race model... we could look at this a couple of ways..
how would you guys read that statement..

the rules state gear boxes must be capable of forward reverse operation at all times... however it doesnt say it has to be with a control box.. no reason i cant make something on the midsection to allow this.:cool: if the mod 50 with straight in front was released on the 15 inch mid and nitro foot im in business.

thankyou for your help

Definitely was a "special run" "limited race model"

[850cc racer]

Hey thanks for the reply, from what im hearing the fr 19s was released to the public.. and had 8port angled front mod 50 block, 15 inch mid and nitro foot.

as you may tell i need some help/clarifaction

cheers mate

[Mark75H]

You are interpreting "released to the public" differently than rule makers do. Rule makers mean sold as a regular fishing/pleasure motor and shown in the main brochure with all other motors when they say "released to the public" ... not just that they sold them rather than holding them back as factory race team equipment.

You will not find the FR19S in any of the standard fishing motor brochures. That line of motors shown and spec'd out in the brochures is the definition of "motors released to the public"; all other motors are "limited distribution" because you had to have some other special knowledge to even ask for one. If you dig deep enough you may find the OMC AU had a restriction policy over who could order one at the time they were new, a further limit on their distribution.

[Lars Strom]

Hi Lars thankyou for your reply.
