I'd split a pan for a Klondike bar. Sounds like a great idea. Pics please? ...

Maybe put a zipper on my lower unit to swap gears and clutch dog on the beach for a better ratio than all I would need is just one prop ?

That sure would be nice on my laser in fact someone already cut the transom. Does this mean a bunch of v4 fans

forgot to mention the shift shaft hole in the can I made slots so I can tack weld the lower plate mount to the steering arm.

sst 120 style trim NO TILT must use 5-6 inch set back jack plate,merc outboard trim ram merc or mercruiser trim pump,boat mount for trim ram has 4 positions equals 4 inches of adjustment.Had to cut off about an inch off trim ram mount cause its off set now fits the stock swivel mount perfect,also had to make a bushing to fit the ram size to the swivel bracket size so there you go make your own GOOD LUCK hahahaha but way doable.

Never finished it, but all that was left was to clean it up and paint it. Sold the engine before I finished it and it went with the engine. For the life of me, can't find the pictures of it
