Vintage 1954 Scott Atwater 7.5 HP Bail-a-Matic Outboard Boat Motor.Used as Decoration - Untested but it was running when put up several years ago - has compression. I think it would run with a little gas and a kind word of encouragementIn 1954, the new color scheme was extended to all the models of the line. The split cowl was abandoned in favor of a one piece, lift off design. From 1954 to 1956 Scott Atwaters were the prettiest motors available, with their art deco coloring and sleek design.1954 also saw the introduction of the Bail-A-Matic on the 5, 7. 5, 10 and 16 Hp motors. This feature would allow you to drop a small immersion unit in the bottom of a boat and a neoprene hose connected a pump in the outboard would bail the boat. Most boats of the day were wood and had the tendency to leak a little water.
