Reply To: 1941 Mercury KB3 “Paint Scheme” ?

[Buccaneer]

Trying to figure out what model one has, if the two halves of the gas tank are
from different models, could cause one to start drinking!

Interesting from the Mercury chart above, that my KB-3 is shown just as “Single”
and the KB-1A is shown as “Deluxe Single”.
The later has a single transom clamp, no rewind, no cowls.
the prior should have all of those amenities.

Bob Grubb’s web site seems to suggest that the later model was a “deluxe”
because it had the conventional carburetor, and the prior only had
the poppet valve carb. Not sure if I buy that, but I know zilch on the subject!

Prepare to be boarded!
