The range of outboards was updated in 1961, this meant that the original 3 outboards were re-vamped.įor the Minor and model 5 this was simply a cosmetic re-vamp, the model 3 on the other had had its drive leg altered from a cast alloy lump to twin tubes and a different gearbox on the bottom.Ģ further models were added to the range in 1961, the 3hp Tempest and the 6hp Hurricane, Both came with a remote 2 ½ gallon fuel tank, a comprehensive tool kit, and a new engine made by Aspera of Turin. This was very similar to modern outboards been fully water cooled, it’s engine was also fully enclosed in a fibre glass casing/ shroud. The model 5, was a 5 hp outboard fitted with a J.A.P water-cooled engine that was jointly developed between Austin Burrell and J.A.P. The model 3, a 2.6 – 3 hp outboard, powered by an 80cc J.A.P air cooled engine with a water cooled exhaust which was cast into the leg. The Minor, a ¾ - 1 ½ hp outboard, powered by a 34cc J.A.P ( J.A.Prestwich ) air cooled engine with a side exit Burgess exhaust. Production started in 1957 with 3 basic models, Sea Bee outboards were produced by Austin Burrell Ltd of Abbey Park Road, Leicester.
