Outboard Marine Corporation sometimes referred to as Outboard Motor Company was formed in 1929 when ELTO was merged with Lockwood-Ash Motor Company. They began using the name OMC in 1956. Outboard Marine Corporation was the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of outboard motors and second largest producer of powerboats.
The first known outboard motor was a small 11 pound (5 kg) electric unit designed around 1870 by Gustave Trouvé, [9] and patented in May 1880 (Patent N° 136,560).
