More pictures would be great! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

If any one knows the history of this drive unit please let us all know. Thanks Jesse Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

It was steered by cables as the lower unit swiveled for turning, no rudder. I was wondering if any Scott/Mcculloch experts out there that have seen this!

I have yet to get it home so I cant do much more. The boat just says Rambler, Fort Worth TX. It resembles several boats made by manufactureres in Fort worth.. but not much on Rambler...

Only a few of the lower unit parts appear to be Scott parts. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

What the......?
Never seen such a set up. Whatever that red plate with the hoses is looks kinda home made. That said, under that generator you will find three sets of points and condensers. The coils will be at the back of the motor near the plugs. The Scottguy.com, AKA Don Webb, can help with any parts you might need. Take some more pictures, please. Lets see the boat this thing is bolted to!

Hello Again! Thank you both for the input, I think it is a 1958 from the serial #. Having I have no idea how a scott works the info on the points and coil packs is very usefull. I will not have any new pics untill after the weekend. If anyone with Pictures of a 1958/9 Scott 60 powerhead can post some so I can see how its suposed to look.. carb linkages, throttle, shift.. wiring etc. that would be great. The red plate seems to be a custom exaust flange going out to a muffler and exaust port on the transom. I will link some pics form the other thred to here.

satx78247 Offline Contributing Member Posts: 2688 Karma: 66 Thank you received: 3	stashm2, I don't really know anything about that rig, except that i went fishing in 1976 or 77 with a fellow in south LA, who had a similar IB boat with a V-4 OMC engine, instead of a Scott. NEAT boat though. yours, satx Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Ok I will keep you in mind. I wont know what I need untill I get it home and see if I can get it spinning.. I may just need an entire powerhead.... we will see. I think this engine will be this winters project and I will tacle the boat in the spring.

Chinewalker, Thanks this is what hapens when I go for car rides where cool things are for sale

Just got to get my Little Utility Racer all varnished and assembled for next spring before I dive into this. (Its all together just needs more varnish paint and you know all that!)

I believe it was a '59 or so. Just rambling of a older guy. LOL Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Well Update on the engine... It seems to be Toast... 2 of the 3 cylinders are all rusty inside and some one has been pounding on them at some point with something hard.. Before me.( I used a pice of wood and dead blow hammer to see if they would move at all.. may be the wrong thing to do but it obviously needs a rebuild anyhow. May have been run that way and run by a previous owner.. but I dont know.. I took the head off and this is what I found..
