Compatibility notes

  • Confirm your boat’s capacity plate: never exceed the maximum rated horsepower.
  • Match shaft length to your transom height so the anti-ventilation plate runs at the correct depth.
  • Confirm your transom and hull can support the engine’s weight.
  • Controls, cables, gauges, steering components, and propellers are not included unless the listing states otherwise — we verify rigging compatibility with your boat before you buy.
