OMC Mercury build.

The home brewed stuff is the coolest, nice work.

[dagodiver]

Seems to fit just fine. Bit of transom work. Should be good.

Yeah but you’ll have to change your hour meter to a minute meter.

...those black parts just simply touching those "other" parts, should be good for an additional 10 mph alone......

...nice work. did you do the mid shortening work?...

[FUJIMO]

...bead blasted, or?... what media material?...

[dagodiver]

LOL.!!

FUJIMO,

Yes I cut the mid. You can see it fixtured up in the first set of pics on the welding table.
Its still just tacked together until I fit it all up. Im building a wing plate holder to go in/on the can also.
Aluminum Oxide media in the blast cabinet. Its what I use to do all the gun barrel prep before Cerakote.

If you look at a Taylor mid, they have tabs cast into both sides for wing plate mounts.

Id think you could do same.

Fit a pc of 1/2” alum bar to the sides and just run a beed around it?

[dagodiver]

Going to try and machine a plate recessed into the can that sticks out the sides to bolt the wings to that 6 of the engine studs pass thru.
Trying to keep the welding to a minimum.

Perfect!

I like it.

...thats actually the same way bob latham designed his early standard merc v-6 plates many years ago. plate(s) bolted to plate(s). its the only way sometimes with stock/standard mids. agree with as little welding as possible, as it births weak points on cast stuff...

...no, your right...the rotating assembly part here isn't black, so the minute meter "would" be more apropos. ding ding ding...

lol..
I was glad to see that stuff put to good use. The up/down came from Australia via Italy.. So some of that has a history.

[Instigator]

And will need wing nuts for head bolts.

That is not true ..
However you have to be just a little bit smarter than what your working with ..
