Caille Rowboat Motor, 5 Speed,
with Detachable Rudder



This first motor is very important because of the detachable rudder. The rudder wasn't really necessary with the 5-speed prop but some people felt more comfortable with it because historically the rudder was necessary to provide steerage after the motor was shut down.

The 5-speed prop made it possible to dock safely since it could be shifted into neutral and reverse. That made the rudder redundant.

The rudder was sold as an option. This is the only ORIGINAL one I know of.
