The experiment ended when a defective weld broke loose and the entire outboard ended up on the bottom of Lake Huron. All that was left was the clamp that held it too the transom. If you search U Tube there might be a video that will chronicle this event. Briggs is no longer in the outboard business. Lots of them to sell in warehouses but no longer in production. I would not put that crude POS on any Whaler that I would own. jmo Edited by wannabe on 09/05/11 - 3:12 PM
