Hope this isn't a disappointment, but "Aquabird Nonmagnetic" refers to the brand of steering wheel which was made by Nautalloy Products of Auburn, New York.

Great save. Terrible to think the boat was about to be tossed into a Dumpster!

I took a load of junk to the Local dump about 10 years ago . I swung past the Old metal pile just to look for what ever .Under a pile of Aluminom siding I saw a Brass prop .So I started to dig ....L.O.L... I soon found it was attachted to a Quick Silver lower unit and it was hooked up to a white 50 HP Merc .It took me a good 1/2 hour to dig it out .I brought her home and cleaned her up .It had great compretion and after a couple of hours work it ran like a watch .I gave her a paint job and put it on Ebay ..Got $1700 for it ...Kinda wish I had kept it now but I wasnt into vintage boats then ..A guys gotta keep a looking and youll never know what pops up .Sure would have been a shame if that Merc would have been crushed ..
