Don't you think it would help to know what kind/size of boat this motor is being asked to push?? If the motor is too small for the boat no amount of parts swapping is going to fix that.

I agree with Sivlertip...

Nope....nope and no. The only thing you can do to that motor is change the EMM/ECU to a 50hp and thats about a $1000. It will make engine a 50 hp but 10hp increase is only good for 3-5 mph depending on boat type,weight,set-up.
