Yep!

We got a guy on here that knows all about that engine. Right Jeff?

Maybe.  OMC produced snowmobiles with rotaries in them from about '69 to
'73 IIRC.  I'm not sure OMC ever had a production outboard although they
waxed the racing circuits with them until outlawed.  I know there was a
Japanese outboard rotary (can't recall the name right now) and I think that
Sachs rotaries may have gotten into some outbords too.
