Sodeno Viking with prototype Inboard-Outboard, brand name "Sea Power".

[Pat H]

I have a 1959 Sodeno Viking, built in Japan, with what I believe is a prototype inboard-outboard "Sea Power". The unit attaches to the transom plate with a single pin, meshes with the steering and drive gears, lower unit rotates 360 degrees and is designed to run with the prop forward, underneath the boat. Any information or help on history of this unit would be appreciated.
