Congrats, it really amazing to be able to see exactly how it left the factory, along with the supporting paperwork.
It’s a real time capsule. Shoots some additional pictures of the power head with the cover off.
When I restore a motor it always very helpful to reference a factory original motor to see what type of hardware they used, what bolt heads were painted, exact color of prop etc…. again nice find.

The motor is brand new, there isnt a bit of paint loss to the transom bracket underside. A question…there is no gear oil leak near the prop but above where the seam/gasket where the lower unit pieces are bolted together, if you run your finger along it you get a little bit of a line of wet oil on your finger…is this something for me to worry about?
