It's cloud white, while the powerhead cowlings aren't, chunk missing out of the skeg, bronze prop, no expert here so I don't know. Curious though, what? Free is GOOD! :laugh:

Well, the color scheme is kinda rare, because the majority of the 78a's came cloud white, colored ones are much less common. I'll wait for a couple more guesses before I give it up.

Free is always good!!! :cheer: :woohoo: :cheer:

I'd assume that is a dockbuster.

Yes, that is the water pickup on the underside of the cav plate.

Yes! It's a Dock Buster!!

But, that's not the cool stuff........it's a counter rotating DR!!!

Yep....a rightie!!! And it's a real survivor! I went through it yesterday and I could probably put gas in it and go. 125# on all cylinders, no buggered spark plug threads and not ONE ding in the stainless wrap!!! I'm phsyched!!!!!!!

Curious... how can you tell it's a counter rotation prop from the skeg? Just by the pitch of the prop? Nice find regardless!

You're not looking at the skeg. Look at the prop, it rotates right ( clockwise ) for forward movement. Standard Direct Reversing Mercs rotate counterclockwise.
