It is a Bitsa. Nothing wrong with that aye.
The bottom end is from a Mermaid, and the BIG one at that. Originally for that gearbox with a 3 blade propeller they were rated at 6Hp. 188cc air cooled Hurricane industrial engine.
The motor plonked on it is a Bitsa Victor lawnmower motor 125cc. That is probably why your one has a 2 blade prop of god Knows what. That probably so the Victa can spin it.

Enjoy it!

No Problems.........except......
A very early 160cc victa MIGHT have the same stud pattern..............You will work it out I am sure.

Un beliveable Inspector. Today I got to it & freed up the throttle slide that was stuck flat out. Checked the spark & it was a nice fat blue spark, filled the fuel tank choked the motor & 1st pull & it goes. It runs well & idles quite smoothly, does sound like a lawn mower though. Might look into fiting an exhaust to go down into the water. Next step is pull it apart & clean every thing, & give it a go on the back of the Tinny. I do like aircooled outboards as this is the 3rd to the collection. Might have to get rid of some of the Seagulls to make room.
