quote Mumbles:

I finally got my $15 Merc 200 out of the truck and since I’m feeling adventurous today, figured it would be a good time to check it out a bit. But since my experience with these motors is limited, I have a question or two.

First, how do you get the dang hood or band or whatever comes off it off?

you need the special factory hood/band removal tool 🙂

unscrew knob at bottom of faceplate, pull off faceplate and expose two adjustable cammed catches – when you see it, it will make more sense than I can describe without pictures

and thank you – that pic is now in my library too 🙂
