.P. Fast 
Light Twin 
yts light as right 
Twin outboard! Sounds easy. But before Ole Evin- 
A rude’s Elto turned the industry topsy-turvy, “twins” 
had been tried, marketed and withdrawn from the 
market as failures. Some in the industry flatly said, “A 
successful twin can’t be built”. The Elto with 3 years 
of t demonstration by owners has proven otherwise. 
But slapping a twin into production to meet competition—and 7 
years of designing, testing and proving by the pioneer designer of 
outboard motors is altogether another thing. Free from outboard 
motor business, Ole Evinrude had the time and took it —7 years. 
A Light Twin built around big bear¬ 
ings —That’s the Elto—with 23 square 
inches of crankshaft and connecting 
rod bearings—almost double the bear¬ 
ing surface of other twins in the light 
weight class. How big are the bear¬ 
ings ? Ask that question before you 
buy. Lightness itself adds nothing 
to trouble-free, long service. 
An Extra Horsepower. Nothing can 
take the place of horsepower and you 
need 3 full H.P. to get adequate speed 
on seaworthy, substantial boats—or to 
land you first across the finish line 
with light racing boats. How much 
H.P. by piston displacement ? Ask 
that question and don’t be satisfied 
by an answer that says a motor de¬ 
velops such and such H. P. If it 
hasn’t the horsepower in the cylin¬ 
ders, it’s mighty improbable that it 
will develop it at the propeller. 
Saf e Rudder Steering. How do water 
accidents happen? Someone is stand¬ 
ing, another steering. A quick, vio¬ 
lent change in direction and splash ! 
Elto’s rudder not only makes tiller 
rope control practical from any part 
of the boat, frees you from shaking 
steering handle, but makes dangerous 
pivot turning impossible—makes the 
Elto safe for family use. 
Instant Starting. That’s only possi¬ 
ble with a big hot spark independent 
of cranking speed. Elto’s battery ig¬ 
nition and Atwater-Kent Unisparker 
starts the Elto with a quarter turn. 
It’s easier to snap a battery into con¬ 
nection than to crank, crank, crank ! 
No ropes needed. Waterproof battery 
lasts full season. No parts to be 
returned for remagnetizing. Every 
hardware store is a service station. 
Built light, but built right — as light 
as right at no sacrifice of power, speed 
or durability. Trust Ole Evinrude for 
that! Sold only under the name Elto.
