Thanks for that, it makes a lot of sense. Quite a few outboards out there with the Hurricane 125 but not a lot with the 185A or the 200.

Started tearing it down yesterday, cleaning the parts and getting things ready for reassembly later. As mentioned before there's quite a few parts missing, so whilst i won't be able to finish the restoration until I've got those, I'll go as far as I can. A few pics.





It's clearly had very little use! Absolutely no slack in the big or little end. Very little carbon build up on the piston, the bore looks fantastic and all the water passages are clear.



Gasket removed, surfaces and piston given a bit of a clean.





Re-painted the cylinder/head, flywheel and base plate and cleaned all the brass brass and copper fittings. Aside from some prior spanner damage, they've come up nice.

All stored for another day. I like to use styrene boxes where possible as there are no openings for small components to escape. The plastic bags contain individual parts eg the stripped down carb, stripped down ignition etc. Prevents anything from getting lost, and when I'm ready to work on something it's all there in one bag.
