Strength/- where 
it is needed 
A ROWBOAT loaded to full capacity weighs almost half 
a ton. With this load going at full speed, how hard a 
blow do the drive and propeller shafts of an outboard 
motor receive when they strike under-water obstructions? The 
under-water part of a motor, not constructed like that of the 
^I-'TO, is apt to be completely distorted, if not broken outright. 
A series of even lighter blows, in time, causes disalignment of shafts, fast 
wear and early breakage, unless they are encased in a strong and rugged 
housing. The 200 pound man in the illustration is jumping on the one-piece 
housing that encases and completely protects the ELTO drive shaft. This 
housing is constructed like the full floating type automobile axle, taking all the 
shocks and strain which otherwise would fall on the shafts. The unique 
housing construction belongs exclusively to the ELTO. The fine stream 
lines of the ELTO’S under-water parts make it the most weedless of motors. 
They offer the least resistance to the water—cut through it like a knife. The 
entire design of the ELTO is distinctively beautiful and clean-cut through-out. 
An Extra Horsepower! 
Your motor must carry you a great 
deal farther than you will ever carry 
the motor and it takes three full 
horsepower to do it in a substan¬ 
tial boat against currents, winds 
and tides—togetyou safely toshore 
in a sudden summer squall—or to 
get speed from sea-worthy boats. 
The ELTO is the only 3 H. P. 
Motor in the light weight class. It 
is also the lightest motor per H. P. 
Double the Bearing Area 
It was to be expected that Ole Evin- 
rude, the pioneer designer of out¬ 
board motors, would build only as 
“light as right”, at no sacrifice of 
needed power or durability. That 
is why his perfected motor, the 
ELTO LIGHT TWIN, has more 
than double the connecting rod and 
crank shaft bearing area of all 
other light weight motors. 
Sale Rudder Steering 
no possibility of dangerous pivot 
turning. No shaking steering 
handle. Tiller line steering from 
any part of boat. Hands are free 
except at turns. 
Instant Starting 
Because there could be no relief 
from hard, stubborn and uncertain 
starting, the curse of outboard mo¬ 
tors, without change of ignition, 
Ole Evinrude made the change. 
The ELTO starts on first quarter- 
turn under all conditions. No ropes 
or starting devices needed.
