    Wow, that Mercury/Evinrude is wild.

    Not much to photograph at this point. Mostly just a bunch of parts motors. While pulling down some motors today I discovered that the 1960 driveshaft fit the 1963 powerhead. The difference in the driveshafts must be in the lower unit. I haven’t torn down the 63 lower unit, yet, to know for sure. What is encouraging is that it appears the 1962-64 lower unit should swap with the 1958-61 superquiet motors as an assembly.
