Running a 1909 Waterman Coughing Sarah Antique Outboard. This rowboat motor (RBM) is an example of the first successfully commercial outboard motor. The Waterman "Coughing Sarah" as it is commonly known was originally fashioned from a Curtis motorcycle engine and first made available for sale in 1906. This 1909 version is slightly more refined and predates the brass era.

Necessity is the mother of invention so I imagine after that motor someone invented the paddle.

It looks like those wobbly bevel gears soon could be stripped. It makes me wonder how many years passed before they used more bevel gears to balance the thrust loads.

The motor has no magneto. It has only a timer (points) that controls when the battery and buzz coil in the boat will spark the plug.

@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166 2 жыл бұрын

He was a wise man. This motor doesn’t really suffer from that issue.

@spitfireboy1 2 жыл бұрын

The motor is connected to a battery for spark? I am taking a wild guess that the generator is no longer there or does not function possibly? It is fascinating to see such an old motor!

@uppercanadachapter-aomcian4166 2 жыл бұрын

Early motors didn’t have magnetos. The spark was provided by the battery and buzz coil residing in the boat. The first outboard magneto came out in 1914, but battery ignition would remain an option on some motors until about 1940.
