Jack Craib's Caille Outboard Motor Information Pages

Caille Neptune Rowboat Motor, #39920


This motor is important in spite of its condition because of the decal.

I plan to keep it just this way. To restore it would be a crime.

Note that Neptunes were sold UNPOLISHED as an economy measure...so don't polish them!!

Introduced in 1915 the Neptune rowboat motor was Caille's inexpensive motor...it was not a badge motor.
It was available with either battery or magneto ignition.

There was also a canoe version, and a 3 1/2 hp commercial version which I have never seen. They always had a dry exhaust.
