"Jason, a 1975 5 horse would have been built by Eska (long out of business). The powerhead itself is a single cylinder, air-cooled Tecumseh motor (the same as used on thousands of lawnmowers) - with most parts for the (powerhead) still available through numerous small engine places.

Having said all that, there are literally thousands of these little air-cooled outboards out there - in sheds/garages/basements and boat houses.

Their value is fairly low - usually sell for less than 100 bucks if in running condition. Their greatest value lies if you have a use for it which could save you 800-1000 bucks which is the cost of a modern 5 horse "kicker"...."
