This motor is advertised as a 1930’s OMC.
Any idea what model, hp, and year it might be?
Thanks

Looks like 1935 standard fisherman or could be a 1936 service twin both look the same.

I was looking for photos online of Fisherman’s and Standards of the 35-36 era,
but having trouble finding them. Anyone know where they’re hiding?

Search google images 1935 evinrude fisherman. I have some posted on Pinterest of the 1935 catalog etc. most should come up.
There’s not a huge amount of photos of them but they are out there. The weedless version is even harder to find photos of in the 35 model.

it must be a Service Twin ( I have exactly the same as yours and mine has model 4161 on the ID plate )
based on two things;
the cavitation plate is a little bigger then the Fisherman
and the little extra outlet on the alu. muffler
makes it ( IMO ) a Service Twin 1936 with 4,3 hp

btw. I have a Fisherman too ( name on the tank decal ) but on the ID plate is model 476 and that
belongs to the Sportwin 1933 with 4 hp
so you can make a choice with all the info here on the board

Thanks again for the information! I plan to look at the motor Tuesday
to see If I want to bid on it. The back of the gas tank looks like it
rolled down Mt. Everest, but it’ suppose to be "loose" and have
compression.

I looked at the Outboard Motors Corporation motor today, and found the following on the transom
tag……
4093-3119
I found a model 4093 on this site,
http://www.yankeeaomci.org/evinrudeat100.htm
showing it as an 1935 Evinrude 4hp.
Was Outboard Motors Corporation ever a separate entity from
Evinrude?
Thanks, Bucc

They’re one in the same Evinrude adopted the OMC name through the mid 30s after a buy out of other outboard companies but it was still Evinrude, Peter Hunns the old outboard book has more details 😎
