I have the same motor on my 1996 Cajun, motor built in 1995.
According to "The Old Outboard Book, Third Edition" by Peter Hunn, S. Emerson Harthan of Worcester, Massachusetts invented the first steam powered outboard motor back in 1887. He received a patent for his design, but never actually built the motor, though it did work on paper. The first company to produce an outboard motor according to the afore mentioned book, was American in 1896, no motors produced by the company have been found and no names are listed to give credit for the design, although documents such as bills of materials, labor charts, and production tables etc. have been found seeming to support the idea of American being the first outboard motor actually produced, but no name is given.
Check out the Antique Outboard Motor Club, Yankee Chapter website: http://www.yankeeaomci.org/feature_outboard-2.htm It has a chart that lists the model & years built.

An outboard motor made specifically for sailing has 3 major differences. First, the lower section is built to a much stronger standard, and typically can be seen because it will be much wider as compared to a powerboat outboard. The reason for this is that a sailboat outboard is built to not "kick up" so it must be able to withstand minor strikes without damage. The second reason, it has no "kick up" - this is because a sailboat motor has to be able to power fully in both forward and reverse, and powering in reverse with a powerboat outboard will result in the motor lifiting the propeller up and out of the water becuase it is allowed to kick-up. Third, the sailboat outboard will allow the motor to go up in speed just as much in reverse as in forward, while in reverse on some powerboat outboards are limited, to prevent kick-up. So, the lack of kick-up is the key difference in features, with the other changes necessary because of that.
how do u remove the lower uint on an outboard motor? Depends on the outboard. Some Johnson/Evinrudes required that the powerhead (engine) be removed first for example. Look for a service manual for your particular motor on ebay, and it will tell you all you need to know to avoid problems.

Yes. For example, you can have an outboard motor on a boat.

Outboard means "outside", for example, an outboard motor as opposed to an inboard engine.
