Sport J Steering Arms - Stock / Altered Rules
How did everyone get around the stock configuration rules when it came to using either the tubular racing arms (Twister) or stamped bead arms (T2 or T3) on Merc 1400 or 1500 Sport J motors? Either method required the removal of the small cheek tower cowl located under the engine pan. Not using this cowl wasn't really "stock"? Even the 1500XS motors had this cheek trim cowl. I went to the trouble of splitting this cowl and attaching with brackets on my T2 stamped steering arms.

SJ Terrible Trio?
Lee, Pearl and Sherlock were the primary force why none of us Sport J guys on the west coast never ventured back east to race or take our chances at the nationals. A few brave souls from CA (Hoffman, Johnson,etc) would go back there and see these 3 guys pass them like they had their motors idling in neutral (LOL). They managed to swing some very large pitch propellers that the rest of us could only "lug" at mid range.
