Viking outboard?

[McSkagit Tim Jones]

Anyone heard of a Viking outboard? Saw one on a nice classic Reinell up in Cowichan Bay, B.C. Is this a Canadian version of a West Bend or something?

Also saw an old Indian outboard in the marine museum there...made by the Indian motorcycle company. Pics attached.

Tim,
You are correct,according to "The Old Outboard book" by Peter Hunn, "Over the years,Viking Outboards were supplied by makers such as Muncie,Evinrude,Gale.......and West Bend."
Sold from the 1930`s to 1960`s.
"Viking" does sound more Canadian than Yank.
