Wright Rowboat Motor - Jack Craib's Rowboat Motor Information Site; antique outboard boat motors

Notice the crank the Wright uses for steering and reversal!

The catalog cover phrase is"attachable rowboat motor"
rather than the phrase "detachable motor"
used by every other make that I know of.

For a very thorough explanation of the Wright's features and versions read

You won't often see a Wright, let alone one running on the river!

The motif of the compass rose on the tank's top right side is found on Wrights sometimes.

The Wright to the left :-) is serial # 146.

Note that the illustration to the right is of a skegless Wright, as are all the illustrations in the ads. Most of the Wrights found have skegs. The only one above that does not was in the late Len Pangburn's fine collection, #68. Also, the compass rose motif is illustrated on the cylinder. I wonder if they thought about having it cast on. Haven't seen any.
