    The weak point in the OMC three horse motors thru ’63 was in the exhaust tube right below the swivel clamps. They liked to snap off in this area quite easily. The ’64 and later models were beefed up with a different clamp design and exhaust tube.

    Really? Gee, you must have all the bad luck. I’ve never seen a broken one. At least it has two clampscrews.
