Tombone any idea what the red gear looking things are with the yokes? The black outboard deals are the surface drives we believe, the red gear/yoke look to us like some kind of a transmission, there is a Sh*t load of those, and the black surface drives there are 80 we've counted as far as you can see into the container.

Now that we are back to normal.
Would love to have 2 of them for the race boat. Maybe we can make a trade. I have this race boat ...

That Gentry fellow liked the custom gizmos. Wild innovative hardware. Not a Mercury Racing decal in sight.

We do on the big blocks Looks like Merc Marine all did the ECU's for the FI motors. I've spoken to a guy today who works for Merc and he confirmed they did all of the engine ECU custom work for Tom. I'll get some photos of that tomorrow when we tear down one of the fuel injected/twin turbo big blocks.

Shaun!!!You need to talk to MELL RIGGS at RIGGS marine in Eldorado Wisconsin(920) 872-2728He used to be in with Merc back in the day. He is a book of knowledge.May be able to shed some light on you find!!.I would be interested in one of those turbo small blocks.JOHN SR

Yes those red items appear to be transmissions.

unbelievable find!!!!!!!!!!! that is just incredible. i wish i could see it in person. that stuff is priceless to the right person. would love to see more pics. congrats!

They could and it would. In defense of Mike, the guy he is talking about has been an endless pain in all our asses here, and since Mike could not see your FB profile, it really did look like the kind of crap that JIm Darr would start. Sorry about that. You came to the right place in spite of all of that crap. This is the motherload of offshore racing knowledge and when the smart folks start weighing in it will all have been worthwhile.

they look to be a crash boxes and one w/ a power take off to drive a hydraulic pump.I have one that runs a power steering pump,old race set up,definitely some interesting stuff.

I can't even imagine...I would not be able to sleep until I had been through all five containers..
