OS / G / 6573.
not sure if this is a date code, or the RPM limit.LOL

Hi All, I have just purchased this BMB Outboard, along with a couple of others. This motor looks to be all there, except for a water pipe and a wire spring thing, that attaches beside the spark plug. Can anybody advise what year and model this may be. It seems to be pre 1948 , going by pictures I ha...

Good Result.. Sounds like the outboard fairies like you. LOL
I won't give up hope on my one, just yet.
Cheers,
And a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.

I have the same problem on my Ferrior (Inferrior) I made a plate and used the 4 flywheel bolt holes. Used plenty of heat, lots of soaking, several good hits, and a few new words. So far, the flywheel is still in place. Im hoping if I leave it for long enough, the outboard fairies will fix it for me....

Very cool old motor. Good score.!!

Good job B.
Lucky it has been a fresh water engine, otherwise it would probably be badly corroded .

Cool old Outboard, and looks to be in really nice original condition. Getting hard to find a good one these days.

Also, I do have one with a Torque Major engine, and that is different again.
This one is my Riverside.

Here are a couple of others I have, and they are all different.
I do have others, but am having trouble uploading the photos.
The Red outboard is a Clipper, and the Blue and Gold one is a Villager Stingray.

Thanks for all the replies.
I was having trouble uploading photos, that is why i only have two.
I do have some other Villiers outboards, so will try to get some more pics, for comparison.

I have just got this Outboard. I believe it is an Aussie Made Sea Tang, but I could be wrong. Its approx 1960, and has a Villiers 7F engine.
Can anybody positively Identify it ?
Thanks in advance,
M

Looks Good. Johnson Seagulls are getting hard to find these days. LOL
If you didn't know better, you would think it was original.
Good Job.
Cheers

Good scoring S.
You may want to look for a suitable bicycle, to fit the mini motor to.
Then you can cruise the swap meets in style. LOL
Cheers

Nice job on the restos .
It good to run them in a tank, and see and hear them running as they were supposed to.
Thats part of the reward, for all the time and effort.
look forward to seeing more of them.
Cheers

Hi All, I have been in contact with Brian Cheras again. He generously allowed me to post some info on his outboards. Cheras Industries started in 1951, and started making Outboards around 1955. Firstly, was a 3HP Air Cooled Hurricane Powered unit, and later, a fully enclosed 5HP water cooled Hurrica...
