Swedish outboard motor
TORPEDO
2 1/2 HP ........... Price KR 340.

Only outboard engine equipped with a Schebler-type float carburetor, as opposed to the primitive, cheap valve carburetors with which all other detachable engines are equipped.
The enormous advantages gained thereby in reduced operating costs and safer gear in all weather conditions justify the claim that "'Torped" is the market's most powerful outboard motor. In addition, there are a number of other improvements, among which are mentioned: Replaceable bearings everywhere, effective rudders without rotation of the propeller, reliable reversing device. Bosch's waterproof spark plugs, practical mounting bracket construction, ground impact protection, etc.
Extremely elegant demeanor, 2 year warranty.

Cheapest 2 1/2 hp outboard motor.
Order well in advance of the season!
