Looks like the canal behind Skyway Marine on 79th Street. Does anyone remember when Dave moved there from out by the airport?

Yes, because that's not what's wrong

How did they attach the front face plate to the back (front in the picture) of the wrap-around cowl ???

It attached to the top and bottom cowls not to the wrap-around. Mercurys used the same basic cowlings for decades. My first couple of motors the cowls were bolted solidly to the motor. You could attach a steering bar directly to the bottom cowl pan and access the carbs by just removing the wrap-around. Later motors got a lot more complicated because the cowls were suspended by rubber mounts but still used the same wrap-arounds.
