You have a 1946 3.6hp Firestone outboard motor built by scott-atwater. I know the year from the 46 in 463 on the cast iron power head, i have one exactly like it, same year, and same tillotson carb.

Not sure about his but mine is silver with red Firestone lettering on the font above the throttle, and no there is no tube that goes to the lower unit. both the exaust and water pickup are hollowed path ways in the motors lower unit.
