Not being a technical person, the only thing I can figure is maybe the exhaust design ( small opening at gearfoot) had something to do with it. I do know that the underwater exhaust made it more difficult to start. All most every ’29 Fastwin and Speeditwin I’ve seen has had relief holes drilled in those beautiful cast housings to relieve pressure…..Meanwhile, Finn Irgens 29 Lockwood Chief had the bigger exhaust going into the lower unit. Maybe that’s why Evinrude/ELTO wanted him so much?
