There's a 5hp hiawatha on ebay for 75.00 + shipping. give it a look. Ebay search for "5hp outboard Hiawatha" it'll be there. Make one out of two. |

That one is way older looking then mine, was hopeing to find out what year it is and if theyer any good, if its worth trying to get it running, its all there and in really good shape, the guy said he used it 3 years ago but hasn't started it since, has good compresion and all, but sure something is gonna be wrong, to easy, something for nothing. |

Troy, what you have there is a 1970 Eska built, Hiawatha. Single cylinder, 5 horse, air-cooled motor.
Eska is out of business, but the powerhead itself was built by Tecumseh. Your number 64035a is the Tecumseh model number for the powerhead itself making your Hiawatha model an 1189B.
Your hiawatha is not part of the earlier brand name that was sold by Gamble-Skogmo Auto and Department stores which were built by either Gale (omc) or Scott-Atwater.
Instead it's a name that was resurected by Eska themself and sold in two model years only (1969 and 1970).
Having said all that, I will try to address your original question - is it worth anything?
If you can use it and it would take little to get it running it is worth the cost of a carb kit and new plug and the time it takes to do the work, otherwise, running it's worth 50 to 100 bucks (on a really good day), if it needs any work to get it going don't count on more than about 20 bucks for it.... |

Thanks for all the help guys!Now I got more questions, when you say air cooled does that mean this don't have an inpeller? And if it does how do I check to make sure its working? And if not will I really have to watch it so it don't get to hot? |

Thats correct, no impeller, no water pump. The only thing you want to do is mix the gas with a good 2 cycle oil meant for... lets say chainsaws for example, this type of oil is designed for an air cooled motor. Outboard oil is meant for a water cooled motor. Being a 69' or a 70' you may be able to run that mix at 40:1, but check it out for sure, I'm not sure of the bearings on that motor. As far as it over heating, I would'nt worry about too much, use good oil and there should'nt be a problem.
To be honest, its exacly what I've been looking for in a "less hassle" trolling motor. In my opinion, it's a good find, if it idles well. |
