Still looking for BHB 68-210-6.
I don't know why people insist on removing the paint and polishing the lower units on the 55H's & 30H's. They came from the factory painted and rules required them to be painted. At a race an inspector wouldn't even bother to put the boat on the scales, the unpainted lower unit was an automatic DQ.
The GOOD: the paint colors are correct. The 75H and 30H only came in red. Also this pic shows the difference in the mid sections for the 30H & 55H; you can see the deeper cut for the front lower unit nut access on the 30H.
1972 Mercury 3-cyl. 650.
Lots of Mercury FIRST Stickers attached to race boats in '72.
(That's Barry Taylor (Cdn. Mercury Team Driver #177 ) standing next to Mark Rotharmel's 13' Checkmate. Behind him in the Merc uniform is Mark's father, Gerry. Barry's girlfriend, Mimi, is dancing first thing in the morning at the St. Felicien race in Northern Quebec.
