      I picked up a 5 hp Flambeau, Model 174050.
      Information says it’s a 1948 – 49 model.
      I found a little information on OddJobs,
      but little else.
      It’s interesting to see photos of the two halves
      of the motor split lengthwise, top to bottom,
      but presume they’d be a real treat to overhaul.
      Was there ever any outboard manuals that covered
      procedures on the Flambeau’s?
      Thanks, Buccaneer

        Wow, I was used to no response when I mentioned "Eska",
        but didn’t think "Flambeau" would invoke the same "no"
        response. 🙂

          I don’t believe there are many Flambeau manuals out there, so I would imagine you may be waiting a while! Just a guess, I have never seen a manual anyways sorry. Definitely have not seen an online version someone could send you.

              Sit tight it’s the weekend.
              I know Greg Jones restored one of them. He did a seminar at one of our MOB meets,
              and he mentioned who he got his info and help from but I can’t remember who it was.
              He’ll be around before long.
              I always thought that motor would be fun to work on.
              Good Luck with your motor.

                      Someday perhaps, Flambeau will be in the "Respect Hall of Fame".

                        Flambeau’s at Tomahawk. I will have Manual Copies and other good info at Tomahawk. Will also have a few Accessories and small parts. Like to talk Flambeau – look me up. Wayne Schoepke
