Evolution? How about Extinction?
Saw on the web someplace that the MSRP for a bare machined case for the #6 is now a whopping $9800! No bearings, prop shaft, water pump, pinions, seals, nose piece, etc. I remember getting complete #6's out of the box from Mercury HP for $4500.................Also saw a PR release on S&F from Mercury for pricing and parts availability for 2018 that seems to imply that the screen "goes dark" for any Mercury OPC parts at all in 2019 (except existing inventory?).

.This is the thread that links the Molly B lower unit...….W/4 inch housing...….I have a 4 inch but it's a different { style} using a D mercury clamp bracket Who ever made them..... I think they were made for V4 Rudes because the housing is wide and has the V4 bolt pattern.....to use a Merc lower ya have to hack up the front of the SSM and the 8 hole are for OMC pattern......An adaptor plate is used to use the Merc gearcase.....JMO

More Pix Of 4" Housing
This is the inside of the housing showing the OMC bolt pattern and width of the housing to fit the OMC. Also showing the 2 rear bolt holes from Mercury The front is missing attachment points for the gearcase but an adapter has that and bolts to the OMC pattern. The housing has the letters JM cast into the side. This is old forgotten racing stuff.
This picture shows how the front of the gearcase has to be cut off to fit the inside of the housing. Picture shows comparison of Mercury and OMC case. Racers had a tendency of hacking up old racing treasures.

Hey Mark N..Are the lower units you have LH and RH ? do you know what the gear ratios are? thanks Dave S.

They are left and right. I don't know the gear ratio.
I was told by one of the ex drivers of the Molly Bee that they also ran only right hand gear cases but had one motor run left hand.

That would be a righthand left case..... also would be marked CR . The right gear sets were,,,,, stronger..... no PS flex. I have the kit that runs the motor left if you need......
