Outboard Motor Division

West Bend Aluminum Co.

Hartford, Wisconsin

West Bend Outboards were also sold as Elgin Outboards by Sears, Roebuck, & Co. up through 1959. In that year, Elgin began selling Scott outboard motors as Elgins.

West Bend continued making outboard motors well into the 1960's and even offered a Shark-o-Matic sterndrive unit using the block of the 80 HP Tiger Shark outboard motor. The Shark-o-Matic unit was available on some models of Laurel, T & T, and Custom Craft Boats.

In January 1965 the outboard motor business of the West Bend Company was bought by Chrysler Corporation and reorganized into the Chrysler Outboard Corp. (Jan. 8, 1965 Wall Street Journal).
