Re: Factory OMC set back
I ran into one of those a couple years ago but it was built into the boat kind of like the old L drive merc. Either one is unique to say the least.

Re: Factory OMC set back
ur right russ. you could sumerge the early versions motors. Used a lot on offshore fishing boats that had deep drafts and take swells to the stern. I remember seeing an advertisement on them and they were hammering them in reverse into waves and just burying them. Theres a umbilical that runs through the mount for controls and air. Later versions did't. Never really took off though. Quite heavy and a lot of problems with steering and hydrolics.

Wow! Not something you see everyday. Looks like it didn't perform very well. Good intent maybe.
