Hello,
SO i currently have a 2000 evinrude 115 outboard on my 21' 2000 sylvan deck boat. I was looking to buy a different (used) motor, a little more HP maybe. So i had 2 questions. First, how hard is it to swap outboard motors? And second which motors could i buy that will be easiest to swap with mine? What i mean is are there certain brands that will be easier to use without major mechanical changes, i was looking to stay away from evinrude, long story, so would a mercury fit in easy? I realize this is a very basic question i am asking, and i am sure it is more complicated, this isn't plug and play right, haha. But i dont know how else to ask this, i just want to know how much would a mechanic charge , and what brands,types would be best to buy so as to have to do the least amount of changes when hooking the new(used) motor up.
thanks for any advice.
