If I leave the 8hp a bit to port the clearance is fine - aimed straight the main touches on hard over. Next task today will be to move the second battery across to even out the weight. Going to put a SS carriage bolt where the lifting eye went. Since this boat is new to us, anyone have a ballpark guestimate for gph with an 1987 Evinrude 150?
