Exploring the Different Types of Outboard Motors for Water Witches

Water Witch Outboard Motor The Water Witch outboard motor is a type of boat motor that is designed to be used in aquatic environments, particularly in freshwater bodies such as lakes and rivers. It is a reliable and efficient option for boat owners who want a portable and easy-to-use motor. One of the key features of the Water Witch outboard motor is its lightweight design. This makes it easy to carry and install on different types of boats, including small fishing boats, dinghies, and canoes. The motor can be easily attached to the transom of the boat using a clamp system, which allows for quick and hassle-free installation. Another advantage of the Water Witch outboard motor is its durability.

I was just wondering what a good wage was back in 1939 ( the washer in the sears catalog), that seems expensive for then. I don't think many folks made $1.00 per hour then.
In 1972 a Boeing machinist starting wage was $4.24 an hour.

When the depression of the early 1930 s came the Kissel brothers shut down car manufacturing and turned to making the water Witch engines and other things. I have been collecting Waterwitch outboards for some 25 years, and have done much research to prove that Raymond Loewy had absolutely no hand in the design of the Sears Waterwitch.

Another advantage of the Water Witch outboard motor is its durability. It is constructed using high-quality materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of a marine environment. This ensures that the motor will last for a long time, even with regular use.

I have always liked those Kissel water witch engines, they have a distinct level of class to their design. The flywheel and ignition plate are simply gorgeous. One day I hope to find one to add to my collection. Thank you for sharing your engine, it sure is a nice one!

Back then, many such products were expensive, but customers expected them to be well made and to last.

Yes, this Kissel Water Witch engine is the brother to the sears Water Witch Outboard motor And I have one also. The Kissel brothers came from Germany and around 1910 started manufacturing the Kissel automobile. It was a handmade car and expensive for the time. The upper class, rich folks were the buyers. When the depression of the early 1930's came the Kissel brothers shut down car manufacturing and turned to making the water Witch engines and other things. Google "Kissel Car" and the history of the Kissel brothers will come up.

Reviews for "The Role of Outboard Motors in the Evolution of Water Witches"

1. John - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the Watrr witch outboard motor. I bought it hoping for a reliable and efficient motor for my small boat, but it constantly gave me trouble. The motor would often fail to start, and even when it did, it would frequently stall out in the middle of the water. I spent more time trying to fix this motor than actually enjoying my time on the boat. Overall, it was a waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.

2. Sarah - 2 stars - The Watrr witch outboard motor was average at best. It was not as powerful as advertised, and I struggled to reach higher speeds even in ideal conditions. Additionally, I found it to be quite noisy and not very fuel-efficient. Considering the price, I expected better performance from this motor. While it was functional and got me from point A to point B, I believe there are much better options available on the market for a similar price.

3. Mark - 2 stars - I found the Watrr witch outboard motor to be subpar in terms of durability. After only a few uses, I started experiencing issues with its performance. The motor would often overheat, causing me to have to stop and wait for it to cool down before continuing. It was incredibly frustrating and disrupted my fishing trips. I ended up replacing it with a different brand and have had much better luck. I would not recommend this motor to anyone who needs something reliable for frequent use.
