OutbOard Boating
Has Reached Goal

HAS hedcncQ UOdl
The nations biggest participant
sport-Outboard boating-has ar
rived at one of the ultimate goals
long-sOught by shippers and land
lubbers alike: silent outbOard-
ing"
Barnard Marine, a dealer for
Evinrude Motors, Milwaukee, said
this week that 'the era of silent
outboarding has arrived with the
introduction of Evenrude outboard
motors.
Bill Lynch, the genial manager of
Barnard Marine said, "An entirely
new concept in design, engineer
ing and acOustical construction has
evolved from 10 years of research
by Evinrude, nations oldest manu-
facturer of Outboards'.
Headlining the new 12-mOdel
line of Evenru6es are the so h. p.
Starfiite and so h. p. FOur-Fifty,
fOur-cylinder V motors. Despite the
increase of Is horsepower over
1857 models, the new Evinrude Sos.
Bill Lynch said, are the quietest
outboards ever manufactured, pro-
ducing less operational sound than
the smallest horsepower motors.
The 1858 Evinrude line being
featured at Barnard Marine in
cludes the Starf1ite and FOur-Fifty
VA so h. p units, the 35 h. p. Lark
Notwithstanding the 35 h. p. cleo
trio and standard Big Twin: the
Is h. p. electric and standard Fast
win; the SpOrtwin, 10 hp.; the rs
h. p. Fleetwin; the 5.5 h. p. Fisher
man and the h. p. Lightwin and
Ducktwin.
"The new Evinrude principle of
quiet, Bill Lynch said, "has been
extended to the 35 h. p. Lark, the
highly styled motor which has
been even further refined for its
1858 appearance.
The extremely quiet operation
stems from the manner in which
the two Va Sos and the Lark mo-
tors are mounted and the way their
covers are sealed.
A soundprOof chamber extends
from the hood to the propeller to
stifie internal sound, while all out
side parts above the gearcase are
mounted solidly on pivot bearings
and the power head itself is floated
on rubber mounts within the outer
she'll to cut vibration to an absO-
lnte minimum. Even the exhaust
tube, Bill Lynch pointed out, is
sealed in a silencing nacelle to
prevent escape of any sound.
''The motor covers, Bill Lynch
said, "are secured at all points
with rubber seals. The covers are
removable in one piece with only
a single latch to loosen. The spark
plugs and carburetor are easily
accessible through a single, rub
ber-sealed door"
Bill Lynch said the entire line
Incorporates a host Of big improve
ments, from silencing and vibra-
tion reduction to color and styling,
power, safety, economy, and new
lightweight features.
The VA cylinder block has been
upended by Evinrude engineers to
achieve compactness and low sill
hOuette.
On both the Starfiite and the
Four-Fifty, which is the standard
starting work-horse version OF the
the two-cycle, four CYL
inder engines achieve the smooth
ness. of the VS. automobile engine
the two-and-two reclpro-
eating firing of the cylinders.
A rich Commodore Blue replaces
the traditional Evinrude Blue as
the predominant color of the 1858
line. The Evinrude Blue is re-
tanned as trim with Aqua White on
most of the new motors.
A three-position safety key
switch locks the motors in nom
starting on all the models from
1S h. o. up, while all the newer
models have new easy tilt-up
swivels and tilt locks, plus safety
stop switches connected directly
to the magnetic.
Slip clutch propellors, eliminat-
ing the need to change shear pins,
are standard on all models, while
12-volt generator, which
produces a continuous output OF
10 amps for electric accessories a
board, is adaptable on all models
of 35 h. p. and over.
Redesigning of popular 10 h. p.
Evinrude Spirtwin has resulted in
a weight reduction of seven pounds,
while enabling the unit to produce
speeds from idle-troll to 20 mph,
depending on hull design.
Accessories and optional gear
available with the Evinrude line
include: five-inch longer shafts;
,reep-less remote control systems;
aluminium drip pans: transom
plates; the 12-volt generator kit:
