Strengthening the transom?

[karlisJ]

Hello all so yesterday i brought this engine and the guy had the boat just sat in the garden and he ended up selling me boat with the engine at first i thought it was matching (In new to all this) but clearly not the transom would snap if i full throttled it so im wanting to make it stronger but i can give it to the boat it can handle rough seas

The engine inside looks pretty much brand new never been used in salt water but could do with a water pump change anyone know where i can get a replacement?

Welcome to the Forum Karlis.

Here is a thread on the YBW Forum from almost 20 years ago about Crescent outboard engines - even then they had been out of production for a long time it seems, so it will probably be difficult to source any spare parts for it, unless there are generic parts that also fit other engines.

In those days the brands Crescent, Archimedes and Penta shared numerous parts. If you find the type sign on the engine, it may be possible to find spares. You should be able to search the Swedish net sales forum "Blocket"; these veterans do pop up there from time to time. Look for "Båtar > Båtdelar > Motor och propellrar".
