Repowering 19-1

[lac8362]

blew my oceanpro 115 ate a piston needs a new power head i found a mariner 135 saltwater series for a good price   anyone no of any problems with those motors or is a 135 to much hp for the 19-1 mike also the motor has a 25 inch leg is that to long

The 135 isn't too much hp, but a 25" shaft isn't what that transom was originally made for (20"), but there are ways to make it work.

Should be the right amount of power
How old is the mariner? If I remember right they have not made them for at least 10yrs
Is the mariner a DFI?

the motor is a 1990 salt water series mariner also just found a ocean pro 90 with a bad lower unit i think i will go with that instead and put my 115 good lower unit on it and call it a day i'll loose a little speed but not to much
