Scott-Atwater Mfg. Co.
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Later purchased by McCulloch Corp. in 1956. Scott-Atwater is notable because this company first introduced outboard motors with forward, neutral, and reverse gear shift. Prior to this innovation, operators had to start the motor in forward and swivel the outboard 180 degrees in order to reverse.
Scott-Atwater outboard motors were also sold by chain stores as Hiawatha (Gambles stores), Wizard (Western Auto stores, and Elgin (Sears, Roebuck & Co.).
