Angas Walco

During the late 1950’s, the Angas Engineering Company of South Australia marketed a Direct-Drive outboard similar to the ATCO Boatimpeller. Adverts boasted “New Unit Designed specifically for Tough Conditions. Weeds and Shallows mean nothing to the new Angas Walco”.

The Angas Walco was said to be easy to handle, with an ability to maintain its own propeller working depth even in rough seas, however as with other outboards of this type, it is their use in shallow water that gives them an advantage over the more traditional outboard designs.

Whilst advertising would lead us to believe that the Angas Walco was a local production, it may well have been an ATCO Boatimpeller with Angas Walco branding applied. The search for confirmation either way continues.

SPECIFICATIONS

The Angas Walco Direct-Drive Outboard was powered by Villiers air-cooled engines of 98 and 147cc capacity.
