I agree about the fuel tanks. A Mercury 3 gallon tank came with my 1954 remote tank motor, I have swapped to OMC single line tanks. May I ask exactly how your shift linkage broke & exactly where for me to avoid? At first I didn’t know how to tune & switched gears at higher rpm but now at lower rpms. I have found the shift push rod inside the prop shaft have filled with gear oil not allowing the rod to extend all the way making a hydraulic lock up not allowing for movement but the linkage is small in design to boot too but haven’t broke one yet (YES Elegable Too)
Any reed or that kind of problems too? I never have yet but not hard miles too!
