Hi,i I have a 14 ft fiberglass, Winner boat that i was using an '86 25 johnson long shaft. This combination did well for two people but was insufficient for three people.(wouldn't plane) I have changed motor to a 35 hp '82 Johnson short shaft and this motor although rated at 10 hp more is less effective and doesn't even plane the boat with two people in it.
The motor seems to to opperate well but seems under too much load and won't wind out to top rpm. I have tried to ajust the trim pin and no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, G
