I just put on a 25hp 1971 long shaft outboard on my 4816 mv jon boat. Great comp. 125-127 rebuilt carb, timing........motor starts and runs great.
I have a 20" transom and the motor is 23" from the bracket to the top of the plate, 9x10 prop. The plate is running 1-2" under the water, what
a drag.(sorry) I was running a 15hp 1975 ( both motors are Johnson?s ) with the same 23" length and the plate would ride up at 3/4 throttle.
I am running faster....not a ton...but I?m dragging the plate. It's a tiller handle and a riser with ANY set-back would be a pain in the neck. really.
I have tried all the pin trim holes, shifted weight around but it' just 2 men and late gear, 450 475lbs MAX. Remember the 15hp was fine!!!
Motor runs full rpm at wot
any and help is VERY WELCOME
