Hi Guys
Well...I was trolling craigs list again and came across this old Flambeau motor. Crazy lookin thing to say the least. I've read everything I could find on it and was wondering if anyone could direct me to a Manual for this motor. It's construction is so unique I want to learn all I can before I tear it down for a complete restore.
Model #174050 serial #17371. Thanks for any help guys. One more thing here...I'm trying to determin the year of this motor. I have noticed from looking at pictures on line that many of these had a sort of "snorkel" looking exhaust that sat right over the prop with no cavitation plate. Mine does not have this appendage, and does have a cavitation plate. I'm hoping this will help narrow down the year or years of production.

Go to the Antique Outboard Club's website, www.aomci.org then to the Ask-A-Member forum. I'll bet somebody there can answer your question. Flambeaus show up pretty often at club meets.
