1973 Hurricane mark 1 644

Post by kiggle4321 »

I was looking at the engine on my 73 hurricane mark 1 644 and it looks very familiar to a mercury outboard engine. So I was just wondering if thats what mercury did. Just mount a 40 horsepower outboard engine and put it in the hurricane sideways with modifications to the exhaust, cooling system and the drive train. In addition it has the surface gap plugs that were primarily designed for a marine application.

It is actually closer to the WWII Mercury Military chainsaw than the Outboard, although the Herc does use many outboard parts.
