It can be done quite easily and it would cost close to nothing.

Mount the OB 180 degrees with the flywheel facing the front of the boat. Then use a cable with a squared end. The advantage is that the exhaust will be pointing to the back.

Yup, and you can take the starter belt off once the engine starts. Allot easier than folding it under a cowl.

would this work for a a mod

Sure, unless the engine needs to go so far forward that it would be hard to get a belt around the flywheel since the flywheel is under the deck.

Bring the engine and boat you plan to use to the race on the 6th. I'll show you what needs to be done.

awsome jerry thanks and also on november 6th i will have my new os air-cooled .21!!! i ordered it earlier today!!! :lol:

Since it is air cooled it will need to be converted to water cooling (which is easy). As an outboard the aluminum leg helps dissapate heat.
