I have a 2004 Hunter 260 with an old carbureted engine (Tohatsu 9.8) and would like to upgrade to EFI. I would also like to upgrade to an electric tilt motor since there are a lot of weeds in and around my marina. My worry is that this is adding some additional weight on what appears to be regarded as a weaker point on the boat. I think the weight difference between old and new is something like 82lbs -> 115lbs. The weeds and general shallowness of the inland lake I sail is also the reason I'm looking at the 20" vs 25" shaft.
Am I good to add a MFS9.9EEPTL to the 2004 H260 or is it too much weight?
