Hello Everyone,
Best guess is that my mercury 5hp is from the mid 90’s. The boat is a 1993, so ‘93 or ‘94 seems a good guess. I have not had much trouble with it, but this year I intend to put a lot more hours on it.
considering a new motor. Huge plus would be that I could get one with an appropriate shaft length. on the minus side is that from the specs I’ve read, 4 stroke outboards are a lot heavier than the old ones. I’m considering a 4 hp to cut down a little on weight (and cost), I think that should be sufficient.
any advice?
John
