Evinrude-The handy power plant

COMMERCIAL

USE S

ISHING companies, contractors, steamship owners, ferrymen, lighthousetenders, loggers, boomers and lightermen use fully one-fifth of our output. Consistent, reliable service under salt water conditions, first attracted the attention of the fishermen and power trollers. Today, the Scandinavian fishermen alone have over four thousand Evintudes in every-day use. The ignition-lEwnIlilIl'\1llitll~lVlagneto---Built-In Flywheel Type--is waterproofed and insulated, therefore not affected by rain, spray or waves. For the fishermen, reliable ignition is absolutely essential. For sewer, dredging, dock and bridge jobs, contractors find the lEwmll'\1llitll~ a valuable equipment. From a rowboat, it can be quickly attached to a scow, skiff, work-boat, or flat-boat, and handled by any man on the gang. By adding the stationary fittings, the same motor can be used for driving a grindstone or saw. The addition of the lEwnIlilll'\1llitll~ nit Centrifugal Pump attachment gives an equipment that will raise large quantities of water. 11r. C. S. Whitney, Superintendent for D. C. Stephens, Des 1\Ioines, Iowa, says: "Our barge, 12 ft. by 18 ft., carries eight tons of coal and the lEwnIlilll"\1llitll~ propels this load 174; miles in 35 minutes. Considering the horsepower, the towing power is surprising. Mr. B. Kuenstler, North Battleford, Saskatchewan, says: "Have towed a 32 foot flat-boat, with 6500 pounds freight, at the rate of 50 miles daily. The lEwmll'\lJlitll~ stood the acid test." Ship-owners like the idea of being able to stow the motor in the engine room, bring it out on a moment's notice, hang it onto the work-boat, dinghy or tender, and run into town for the mail, supplies, etc. 1\1r. E. R. ~Tood, Chief Engineer, Steamer "Geo. v\T. Fenweek", hailing from San Francisco, says: "I used that motor from State of "'ashington to Panama. It always ran and ran well". For the heavy work-loads above a ton, or boats exceeding 20 feet in length-you will want the 372 H. P. single-cylinder lEwnIlilIl'\1llÂŤll~. Like the 2 H. P., it's built for hard, every-day service and will stand up and "deliver" under the most adverse conditions. Evintudes are used by 22 different Governments, including the United States, which shows thay they must be built tight.
