The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Tempo products made a flusher kit some years ago that clamps onto the intake, but it is no longer available. But there is hope.
Your motor should have a plate held on by 2 screws above the cavitation plate on the starboard side. This plate is on many of the motors back in those years. Look at my "LeeRoy's Ramblinbgs" http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/OMC_6hp.htm. There I show how to make a flush adapter that fits where this plate is.
not really dvdwn. These vintage motors were meant to be run in a barrel/test tank. They can't really run on muffs. They used to make a conversion kit, but I don't think they do any more.
