Instead, they called their new Milwaukee venture the Elto Outboard Motor Co. His new twin cylinder design weighed one third less than the Evinrude Motor Co.'s best selling (single cylinder) model and produced 50% more power.įive years later, in 1920 Ole and his wife Bess decided to re-enter the outboard business with their new design, but still could not use the "Evinrude" name.
Ole Evinrude continued designing motors during this time and developed a new engine that made extensive use of lightweight aluminum. Ole sold his half of the original Evinrude Motor Company to his partner Chris Meyer in 1913 with the condition that Evinrude stay out of the outboard motor business for five years. Elto outboard engines were produced in the U.S. The Elto Outboard Motor Company (Elto) was the second major outboard motor business founded by Ole Evinrude.
