I have a 1956 Corsair Navigator 7.5 hp. with the center strip cover. It is a bit of a pain, but after you spend much time working on MK-25’s, you will think the Scott cover is a snap. This has so far eluded us from having it in a fully serviceable condition. The main problem I have now with it is that it is cutting out when getting warm. I have been convinced it was overheating, but every video I see of these running, I see the same thing….steam coming out the back at times. Perhaps these just run hot! I honestly have not spent enough time lately on it as there has been other projects to finish first. I was going to look into new condensers and try again. This has a lot of power for a 7.5! Other Scotts we have are 50, 55,& 57 3.6hp’s and a 68 14hp "Sears".
