Dan, yes on the early 70’s L/U and shift mechanism. I’m starting to like the higher gear ratio in that big, old L/U the more I think about it. The motor will be on a light boat and I’m looking for speed, that’s why I like the more than 5 extra prop revolutions PER SECOND as compared to the newer L/U, and that’s figuring at only 5000RPM. Whatever, I’ll be trying the old L/U and if it’s fast enough, I’ll probably just stay with it. First I have to get the parts to fix the steering arm/tiller from the motor’s lame attempt at a front flip.
