     This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 8, 1997 (as heretofore amended, the "Schedule 14D-1") relating to the
offer by Greenmarine Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenmarine Holdings LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), the members of which are Quasar
Strategic Partners LDC, a Cayman Islands limited duration company ("QSP"),
Quantum Industrial Partners LDC, a Cayman Islands limited duration company
("QIP"), and Greenlake Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("Greenlake"), to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, $0.15 par
value per share (the "Shares"), of Outboard Marine Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), including the associated preferred stock purchase
rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of
April 24, 1996 (as amended, the "Rights Agreement"), by and between the
Company and First Chicago Trust Company of New York, as Rights Agent, at a
purchase price of $18.00 per Share (and associated Right), net to the seller
in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of
Transmittal each dated August 8, 1997 (which together constitute the "Offer").
The Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on
Thursday, September 11, 1997, unless extended in accordance with the Offer.
This Amendment also constitutes Amendment No. 8 to the Statement on Schedule
13D previously filed by Greenlake, Alfred D. Kingsley and Gary K. Duberstein.
Messrs. Kingsley and Duberstein and Greenlake collectively constitute the
"Greenlake Group". In addition, this Amendment constitutes Amendment No. 5 to
the Statement on Schedule 13D previously filed by Parent, Purchaser, QSP, QIP,
Quantum Industrial Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation, QIH
Management Investor, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, QIH Management
Inc., a Delaware corporation, Soros Fund Management LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, Quasar International Fund N.V., a Netherlands Antilles
limited liability corporation, Quasar International Partners C.V., a
Netherlands Antilles limited partnership, George Soros and Stanley F.
Druckenmiller, who may be deemed to be part of a group, for purposes of
Schedule 13D, with the Greenlake Group by virtue of the contractual
arrangements relating to the formation of Parent and Purchaser and the Offer,
as more fully described or incorporated by reference into this Schedule 14D-1;
however, none of such persons affirms the existence of any such group. The
item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the
requirements of Schedule 14D-1. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 14D-1.

     Information relating to members of the Greenlake Group in the Schedule
14D-1 and the related Offer to Purchase has been provided by Greenlake Holdings
LLC. Information relating to persons other than the Greenlake Group in the
Schedule 14D-1 and the related Offer to Purchase has been provided individually
by such person.
    
   
Item 6. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company.

     (a) - (b) Following expiration of the Offer at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on Thursday, September 11, 1997, the Purchaser accepted for payment all
Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer. The Purchaser has been informed
by the Depositary that 16,502,801 Shares were tendered either via the Letter
of Transmittal or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, which when aggregated
with the 2,000,000 Shares already owned by the Greenlake Group, represent
approximately 91% of all Shares presently outstanding. This calculation is
based upon the representation of the Company to the Purchaser that 20,396,864
Shares are presently outstanding. A copy of the press release issued by the
Purchaser on September 12, 1997 relating to the completion of the Offer is
filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(11) and is incorporated herein by reference.
