and scroll down to about the third picture.....Hmmm.... this one has a crank, it looks like, and
not a 'pump handle' tiller: there surely could have been more than one such thing.

My dad has a manual outboard engine-essentially a gearbox on a shaft, with a
big, slow turning prop. You pump its tiller up and down to make it go. It's
over thirty years old, and I've never used it, but it fascinated me as a
child. It's very light; even an 8 year old can pick it up. If I get a chance,
I'll try it on our P-15, but beware: I'm building Michalak's 14 ft Piragua
canoe, which is taking all my boating time. The good news is, I have about two
more coats of epoxy and painting to complete it. Wahoo!
