Thinking of retiring 1986 Mercury 90 hp with a Yamaha 90 hp SHO.
Has anyone used this engine? Any set up suggestions. Considered Evinrude 90 hp HO but was too excited about external oil tank.

People who own blue hulls that repower with heavy outboards never admit publically that they made a big, costly mistake.

How heavy is the 90SHO?

On another site there is a recent repower on a 1968 with a new Suzuki DF90 and static trim is perfect with 347lbs.
