Evinrude Repower question

[ralpht44]

I currently have an 84 200 Horse evinrude. I have decided to repower with a new/er Evinrude or Johnson. My current motor is a 20 inch shaft. Can I put a 25 inch on this boat without an adverse effect? I would think I can no problem but want the experts take on this.

No problem, just add a manual jackplate to get the correct height. It's done all the time.

Your existing harness and controls will fit every V6 from 1976 to 1995. The harness was changed in 95 so you'll have to have wiring adaptors or a new boat harness for 96 & newer.
