My buddy was head of the propeller and engineering at OMC he had worked for Mercury in the early sixties he said they took the hood of one of the biggest OMC motors and plugged all the holes to make it water proof .They put a 5 year old kid in the hood and took a picture of the kid paddling the hood on the lake.They mailed the pictures to OMC for a laugh.
