Elto Cub Outboard Motor

General Notes

Note

Elto Cub was marketed as the "world's lightest outboard" at the time, weighing only 8.5 pounds and producing one-half horsepower. This small motor was suitable for light-duty use and was sold at an affordable price point during the Great Depression. The Elto Cub was discontinued around 1941, and its brand name soon followed.
