[QUOTE="Rookie1719, post: 481787, member: 25394"] Hi Everyone, Just would like some advice or tips- I bought a new Suzuki 15hp outboard and it weighs 20-30 lbs more than my previous Merc 8 hp. My boat is rated for 25 hp, my concern is the transom strength- should I be fine since the boat is rated for 25 hp? Or should I try to add some support? Also- this motor will only be for this boat, I'm done with taking outboards off and putting back on. Has anyone bolted a motor to the boat? I was watching a video and the guy had his 20 hp bolted. Is there any benefits other than theft and making it permanent ? Thanks in advance, I'm trying to upload photos to show my transom but the website keeps "crashing." [/QUOTE]
