TITLE: Marine Propulsion Mechanism
INVENTOR: Ole Evinrude
YEAR: 1911
PRINT#: E1260

Evinrude immigrated from Norwya and settled on a farm near Cambridge, Wisconsin. At age sixteen he went to Madison, where he worked in machinery stores and studied engineering on his own. In 1907, he invented the first practical and reliable outboard motor, which was built of steel and brass, and had a crank on the flywheel to start the two-cycle engine. Later that year he had built his first gasoline-powered outboard motor, and two years later, Evinrude Motor Company was founded in Milwaukee. Evinrude reported that his invention was inspired by rowing a boat on a small lake outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin on a hot day to get ice cream for his girlfriend, Bess. By 1912, the firm employed 300 workers. Evinrude let two motorcycle mad teens tinker in his Milwaukee-based machine shop; one was named Arthur Davidson who went on to Harley-Davidson motorcycle fame, also based in Milwaukee.
