Scarce Older Mercruiser Inboard/Outboard New Propeller


Scarce Older Mercruiser Inboard/Outboard New PropellerThis is a new aluminum prop in its original carton. It is marked as a 16" diameter X 11" pitch propeller and has 15 splines. It fits the common Mercruiser I drive units that have a 4 3/4" diameter lower gear case. These older design props have become harder to find. This would be for heavy applications like work boats, houseboats, etc.

Scarce Galaxy Boat Decal NOS


Scarce Galaxy Boat Decal NOSI believe this is from the 70's. Galaxy offered both inboard/outboard and outboard motor boats. This is self adhering. The top paper is left on to hold the shape. I have peeled back a corner of the top paper, to show the green color. This has been in a drawer for many years. It looks like it should be perfectly useable to me. If you at least peeled the top layer off, it would make a great display or pattern for more. It measures about 11" long.

Perko Stainless Louvered Boat Vents


Perko Stainless Louvered Boat VentsThis is a pair of new old stock Perko stainless steel louvered ventilators. These still had the original sticky paper on both sides, which I have removed from the front of one for the picture. This shows the new, bright stainless steel surface. These were made by Perko, a major marine hardware manufacturer. They were intended to be used for ventilation on a boat, but would be at home anywhere. Could be used for ventilation on any high performance engine such as outboard motors, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, race cars, motorcycles, etc. They measure 7 3/4" X 2 1/2". Don't miss this hard to find item.

Wilcox Crittenden Hot Shot Battery Box NOS


Wilcox Crittenden Hot Shot Battery Box NOSThis rare accessory was made to hold a standard Hot Shot battery to power lights and/or the ignition of a battery ignition outboard motor. It held the battery under a wooden boat seat which was as dry and out of the way of a spot as there was in a open boat. It is made of galvanized steel with a grommeted hole for wires, and fastens by carriage bolts and wing nuts. It was also marketed to hold tools instead.

It shows every aspect of boating supplies for sailboats, powerboats, outboard motors, electronics, water skis, and even fishing tackle.

There is some browning of the edges of the pages as happens to the "newspaper" type pages. There are 227 numbered pages and the size is just shy of 8 1/2" X 11".

Unusual Vintage Boatracing Magazine 1987


Unusual Vintage Boatracing Magazine 1987I don't recall ever seeing another issue of this magazine. It says it is Series 2, Volume 41. June/July. It was mailed to Grubb's Marine in Spring City, PA and 1987 has been written on the address label. It covers all aspects of power boat racing with technical articles for both inboard and outboard motors. It is well represented with advertisers including Mercury and Yamaha. I find it interesting that it was published by Muncey Productions of Redmond, WA. A great addition to any boat racing fan's library. Condition is very good. There is a small tear at the top end of the spine.

Rare "Hassock" storage case for boat flotation cushions


Rare This is a really neat and unusual item. It is leatherette material and is carefully made with a brass zipper that entirely encircles the middle of the case allowing it to be completely separated into 2 halves. It appears to be capable of holding 4 of the standard boat flotation cushions for neat storage, creating a hassock. There is a flap that completely covers the zipper for a clean appearance. There is a triangular piece of the same material sewn on 2 opposite sides to form carrying handles. What a great accessory for a small vintage rowboat, sailboat, or outboard motor boat. This is the only one I have, so don't miss out on this rare item.

The 15-A has some pitting of the hex wrench faces, but still displays well. The thread size is 18mm. I think these were used in a wide variety of engines from old cars, trucks, stationary and industrial engines, outboard, and inboard boat motors, etc. The one price is for both plugs.

Rare Old Mastercraft Tie-Down Repair Kits


Rare Old Mastercraft Tie-Down Repair KitsTalk about an unusual item! Back in the late 40's and early50's, Mastercraft from Connecticut was a major maker of boat trailers. Their early design trademark features were a bridge work type fabricated trailer tongue and a crosswise leaf spring. They Soldcotton webbing tie down straps to go over the boat at the wheels. These straps had a rubber ring sewn into them to give the strap stretch/tension. This sale is for 2 NOS repair kits for these straps, if the rubber ring should need replacement. The strap was cut at the spot where the ring was sewn in and the tip included, went on the end and the plain buckle provided a way to make a new loop around the new ring and buckle assembly. These could be used to make up authentic looking tie downs for a restoration of a boat and one of these trailers.  Item Number: MCNOS

Vintage Mercury Outboard Advertising Pin


Vintage Mercury Outboard Advertising PinThis is a tin lapel pin that has never been used. It does not have a pin back. It simply has a tab you bend down to hook over a shirt or jacket pocket. The tab has never been bent. These were from 1965 which is the year most Mercs were reengineered to reduce the noise they made. The pin states "shhhhh Mercury outboard quiet zone". It measures 2" in diameter. A truly unusual find to add to any Merc memorabilia collection.

Vintage Child's Life Jacket (New Old Stock)


Vintage Child's Life Jacket (New Old Stock)This a new vintage commercial child's life jacket as used on ships or boats that carry passengers. It is kapok filled and early enough that the kapok is not sealed in plastic. This was Coast Guard Approved for commercial service. It is in the original printed plastic bag but the bag does have a tear. The jacket seems fine. These were bulky and this is not something for your child to wear to go boating. It would be a great display piece for a ship type decor.

Scarce NOS Chrome Hub Cap Vintage Dilly Boat Trailer


Scarce NOS Chrome Hub Cap Vintage Dilly Boat TrailerIt is a new chrome cap with the Dilly boat trailer insignia in the center. It measures about 9 5/8" in diameter overall. It appears to me to be designed for wheels that had "bumps" or clips on them that the cap goes over for retaining. I feel it has never been installed. The chrome is very good. There is some damage to the insignia at about 8 o'clock. There is some staining inside the back. Overall, I would say appearance is pretty impresive. A great accessory for a vintage outboard or inboard motor boat package, or simply as an unusual display item.

Snapit Auto Trouble Light


Snapit Auto Trouble LightThis unusual light appears to have never been used, but has been around, probably, from the 50's. It requires a 6 volt lantern battery. It stands on its base or hangs by its carrying handle. It has a red (probably flashing) light and a removable white light with a spool of wire and a hook to hang it by. I think the switch will allow the red or white lights together or separately. A neat old piece of auto memorabilia.

NOS Chrome Fuel Gauge and Sender


NOS Chrome Fuel Gauge and SenderThis is a new old stock package of fuel gauge and sender. This is from an old dealer that Soldoutboard and inboard motor boat parts. The gauge is the old traditional black face with white numbers and chrome bezel. It is of the traditional Stewart-Warner type but has no brand name on it. It has been marked as 6 volt. The sender would seem to be designed for a tank in the 11-12" depth area. The sender is also of the old design where the top of the tank had a raised male thread collar that the sender sat on and the "cap" in the picture retained the sender and provided the wire terminal. I have no reason to believe this is not OK, but because of its age, I cannot guarantee it.
