I Have no way of knowing the answer to that question. I will say that I had heard of an experimental V engine that mercury had build back a number of years before which had failed because of cooling problems. If that's true then it would show that ECK was not adverse to introducing a V just because that was the OMC configuration.
Never up --- never down!!

My dad had a 50 hp V four OMC I think it was a Johnson but I can’t truly remember it was on an old 16 foot Glenn craft boat made by Eddie Glenn and his shop off of NW. North River Dr. and 32nd Ave. in Miami. It seemed like a huge motor to a kid of 12 I think mercury had the in line Mark 75H again I cannot remember
