1945 Evinrude Lightfour 9.7hp Military Model Outboard Original condition 60” x 24” Stand not included The 4398 Military Model is a five-inch longer version of the standard model. The "Heavy Duty" designation likely refers to its reinforced transom clamp and single-tube powerhead-to-gearcase connection. Unlike civilian versions with separate exhaust and driveshaft tubes, this model's design allows for reverse operation. "Air-Borne Reverse" allude to the steering wheel's position around the powerhead, enabling easy spinning of the motor for reverse thrust.
