i have a 77 17' mckee craft. the boat is in very good shape and very solid. i had an 83 150 evenrude on it that blew up. i now have an offer for a 90 225 johnson thats hard to pass up. is there much diff in weight and would it work on my boat. my transom is thick, solid and has a 3/8 aluminum...
motor ran hot and died while on a plain. no buzzers or alarms. left side head is brown. i have never really messed with outboards but im pretty mech inclined. where would i start and what generaly needs to be replaced or redone when this happens? i took the burnt looking head off and the pistons...
