If you don't need large capacity, your outboard fuel tank should be
fine. Strap it down. Fuel level sender won't work but don't sweat
the small stuff.
Don't know if the A4 still has its transmission attached (hope so),
but then you're looking at a prop, cutlass bearings, packing gland,
and shaft. Hopefully a salvage operation can help with some of those.
I'm lucky in that PO had a bunch of work done there.
Appreciate the update. Can commiserate.

kinda tired of my outboard, and since I am not a rich man. I jumped on an
almost free (insert snicker here) Atomic 4. $100. 99% complete and it turns
over from a 1968 Catalina. The owner got a hot deal on a running Yanmar.
One of the previous owners had ripped out my engine and installed a real
nice outboard mount. So I have gauges which may or may not work and a
throttle cable. No fuel tank.
The basic plan is to run a compression test. If that is good then spruce
up the paint job, fix the broken bits and give it a go. IF not, well we will
see.
Windfall will need to come out of the water next year anyway for more
bottom paint and fixing a few blisters.
I plan on replacing the thru hulls at that time.
Like Johnny Cash, I am building(rebuilding) her "One Piece At a Time".
Stay tuned at this channel for more updates and hilarity. oh, and I have
the new teak for the rails to replace this January. Already cut to size.
