1935 Caille 3-Speed Twin Outboard Restored, stand included 36” x 10” x 14” The 1935 Caille Motor Company single-cylinder outboard motor is a remarkable example of early 20th-century marine engineering. Caille Motor Co., based in Detroit, was an innovative but lesser-known manufacturer that focused on creating high-performance and technically advanced outboard motors. This motor stood out in its era for incorporating advanced features that were rare or entirely unique at the time, including variable propeller pitch and a 3- speed gear box. The propeller's adjustable pitch was typically seen in larger marine engines, not compact outboards, further demonstrating Caille's engineering ingenuity. Caille motors are considered rare, as the company did not achieve the mass- market reach of brands like Johnson and Evinrude
