repower
« on: November 24, 2023, 08:01:59 AM »
I have a 1987 175 center console with a Johnson 115 2 stroke. I am repowering and have a 2012 Yamaha 115 fourstroke I am installing. The fourstroke is about 80 pounds heavier and wonder if I will have a problem with the added weight allowing water to come in the scuppers at the dock. Thank you, Rob

If the boat still rigged w the old 2 stroke put it in the water with a couple 5 gallon buckets filled with water in the back, 10 gal should get you close to 80 lbs.
