I am clearly mistaken but I'd have thought the remains brought up from the lake would be considered "salvage" and therefore property of whoever claimed it?

Re: OMC 40hp Gearboxes - late 1960s
That looks like it's running much better with the new float.

Re: OMC 40hp Gearboxes - late 1960s
I've run my early 70s Evinrude 40s in test tanks, Typically up to 1/2 hour at a time much to the neighbours delight. They are always quite smokey and there's a good old black sludgy mess in the tank after, which is of course the remains of the oil. The first question is therefore are you sure you've...
