Im planning on changing my engine on my 1989 bayliner 19.5FT from a Force 125 to Mercury 125. Will I get more HP from the Merc. at at the prop? Thanks<br />Billy<br /><br />------------------

Re: Repower

Hi Billy,<br />The 125(89) is a 99.2 cu. in engine. In 1990 they called it a 120 HP engine. In 1992 Brunswic Marine Group reworked the powerhead to 102.9 cu. in. still at 120 HP.<br />The 125 Merc is 113 cu. in. block. The 13 extra cubic inches will be noticeable. The 99 cu in. Force was not a very high tourque<br />engine,so the Merc will out pull it and out run it.<br />...have fun...corm<br /><br />------------------<br />cubic inches = power<br />power = speed<br />speed = FUN
