Selva Black Bass 7.5hp

WSF 20 June, 2008 09:21:00

Selva Black Bass EngineSelva Marine seem to be one of the quieter companies in the trade, and few people realise that Selva is now the only manufacturer of outboard motors in Europe, but working in conjunction with top outboard manufacturers on a worldwide basis. They still machine engines direct from a plain block of Aluminium, and currently are making engine components for both the Yamaha and Yanmar groups.

They recently introduced a cracking little 7.5hp Black Bass 4-stroke model that is selling well across the board to a wide variety of boating people, including anglers.

It’s a single cylinder, manual start, 165cc Overhead Cam engine with a bore and stroke of 63 x 53mm. The rev limit range is 5500/6000rpm. Fuel is fed in via a single carburettor and it also features an Electronic Ignition Advance System and C.D.I ignition to maximise the spark performance. Strategically placed sacrificial anodes minimise engine corrosion problems. It also offers an optional 12V/70W Alternator.

The exhaust fires through the propeller, which is three-bladed with a built in spring-drive. The engine is obviously water cooled through a driven pump. The transmission ratio is 13/30, and the engine sports a shallow water drive feature to protect the prop and transmission leg when running over shallow ground.

The engine also features steering friction adjustment, a manually operated four position trim adjustment, has a full 360-degree steering angle, plus twist grip throttle control and front located shift lever.

The engine runs off a remote fuel tank, but even so the overall weight of the engine is an incredibly light 27kgs. Thanks to the light fingered fraternity no one working off a swinging mooring, moored inside a Marina, or even when parking the boat inside your house drive nowadays risks leaving the auxiliary motor fixed on the boat. With this in mind, being so light the Black Bass is so much easier to fit and remove, and to transport around, plus it makes the ideal tender engine for getting to and from a bigger vessel moored inside a harbour when you need to walk the motor to the tender.

This compact and highly economical engine is also ideal for coupling to a smaller open dinghy up to 14ft as the main power unit for fishing inside estuaries and tight in to shore over reefs in good weather for bass, bream, mackerel and general bottom fishing.
