    He's talking about a C Service APBA alky motor. (The Johnson "P" motor)
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Default possible source

    Try R.C. Hawie. He bought a lot of service motor parts from Butch Leavendusky several years ago.

    Default Service motors PRE WWII??

    Roy:

    I am far from an expert on these motors, but I seem to have heard somewhere that some of the service motors raced were made from motors that were attached to water pumps during WWII. Hence the nickname "Pumpers". I have no idea whether that is just BS or not, but I believe I heard Stan Leavendusky tell that as fact, and what he didn't know about C Service motors didn't really need knowing. If true that means that some of the Service motors were actually made during WWII, at least the power heads which drove water pumps.

    When talking about "pumpers" , THEY were 4 cylinder , 60 cubic inch opposed omc power heads on pumps. the "C" service motors are 30 cube opposed twins. I just wasn't sure when they were last made. My uncle was in ww2, and told me that where he was in europe ,once, they had to abandon a whole warehouse full of 4-60's , so they blew up the whole building full of 4-60 outboards and pumpers , to keep the germans from getting them.
