[QUOTE="canadian omc, post: 503505, member: 8286"] Check the plate on the transom for maximum horsepower rating! Likely 10-15 horsepower maximum for the boat. Going above rated maximum will not only void your insurance it’ll be a liability that can get you in trouble faster than you can imagine. Best bet is going with a 10 horsepower. It’ll handle better and will be a whole lot safer. Using a tiller extension is usually used for electric trolling motors or smaller outboards. Just think how upset you’ve probably gotten when someone doesn’t do something safe when you’re driving or on the water. Do you really want to be “that guy “? Life’s short, don’t rush to the finish!! Good luck and stay safe [/QUOTE]
