That is a 4 stroke. But I have seen a Tracker riveted 1542 with a 25 hp Yamaha at bass pro. Those weigh a good 170 lbs. my engine weighs 120 lbs dry. I'm not 100% positive but I think it is basically a beefed up 25 hp. I ordered new rings and gaskets for it and they were the same parts that...

A new 25hp mercury weighs nearly 20 lbs more than my 87 force.

I was looking at trackers website. Their 1542 riveted jon boat is seems to have very similar measurements to my eldocraft. The tracker is rated for 25 hp without a console. Would adding a console to a boat like the tracker increase the hp rating enough to cover 35hp? Also, I believe the motor...

It's rated at 25 with the remote steering. Where did you get this info? Maybe I got it wrong but I asked you if the remote steering was original, you answered Yes. That information and you state the boat is rated for 25hp. Maybe we are all answering the wrong question? I think I got a...

Where did you get this info?

I took the bolt out before I snapped any pictures. Any idea the availability of those parts?

Just went and checked out the motor. It is actually a 35 hp Force by US Marine. The ID tag was faded to where I couldn't get any of the info. so if anyone can help with identifying it, I would really appreciate it. I will upload pics in just a few.

I am guessing here but I think the weight difference is around 60lbs between a 25 hp and the 40 hp. What would be the best way to beef up the transom?

I forgot to mention I am adding front and rear decks and a 17 gallon livewell.

Wouldn't the remote steering increase the max hp?

I'm not really worried about personal safety with it, going more than 25-30 mph on water feels insanely fast to me, so I wouldn't push it over that. My main concern is damage to the boat. As far as I can tell there is no law in NC covering hp. Some waters here have a hp limit but just require...

The remote steering is original.

I have a 15 ft john boat with remote steering. The boat is rated for 25hp but I ran across a deal on a 40hp force. Would it be ok to run the 40hp on this boat. Here is a link to the boat. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15312

Received the motor today. I won't have time to mess with it really until the weekend but did give the rope start a couple of pulls. It seems that the recoil might need some work since it is tough to pull with the cowl off the engine block. Turned the flywheel by hand and it turned the prop...

Thanks for the great info Cajun! Just one question. What is the seafoam you mentioned?

Would that indicate a seized piston or something like that? I am not very familiar with 2 strokes.

What kind of problems does it seem to have?
