Probably your best bet is to contact the company . . . I couldn't find an on-line listing, I'd bet there's not a whole lot of demand!<br /><br />MotorGuide Marine<br />Pinpoint<br />835 West 41st Street <br />Tulsa, Oklahoma 74107<br /> <br />Phone: 920-929-5040<br /><br />Motorguide has the Hershede story on it's site here: http://www.motorguide.com/index.pl/about_us <br /><br /><br />Found this on a historic site:<br /><br />In 1966, Robert Herschede, who had been the Vice President of Sales, became the last family member to be president of the Herschede Hall Clock Company. Under his guidance, the company developed a new product sold under the name "Motor Guide," which was an electrically powered, foot-operated outboard motor.<br /><br />Best of Luck!<br />CC
