I know the 40hp 2 strokes are not too heavy but not sure about the 40hp 4 strokes. The 2stroke weighs approx189lbs and the 4 stroke weighs 230lbs.

While this article is a bit dated, it gives you some ideas. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=78 Pay attention to shaft length. If you have a notched transom, you want a short (15") shaft. Edited by Phil T on 07/11/20 - 9:51 AM 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
