Hoo Boy, it is too old for me. If nobody comes up with an answer here, post your pictures over on the Antique Outboard Club's website Ask-A-Member forum. Garry over there will know. www.aomci.org

It is a rebadged 1935-38 Elto Fleetwin 8.5 hp. Fuel mix is 3/4 pint per gallon.

He is saying it is a Sea King (re badged) Wards did not make their own motors, they bought them from somebody else. In other words it is an Elto model sold through Wards, with Wards' name on it. Common practice back in "The Day"
