Hood Open

I always liked the idea of a engine cowling that opens like a race car hood for easy access to the engine bay. Pulling off these engine cowlings can be a bit tricky (especially when the boat is in the water) and then one needs to find a place to set them once they come off that won’t be kicked over, stepped on, etc.

Here’s some pics Mr. Phil Kunz emailed to me after I was grumbling to him how tricky it would be to set up my hydro up to do just that:
