Oldlure, thanks for the attachments. Great info. Have already saved. Makes it a ton easier than going back on forth on the Marineengine website looking at the different models.
Don, I was hoping to find a 28 or 33HP empty case, and swap my gears and shafts out etc, but the 33 case has a different pinion gear / bearings etc. I guess the engineers beefed it up with the extra HP. I’m pretty sure an entire 33 would bolt up, but again that’s going to be pricey.
The hunt continues. I’ll put an inquiry in the wanted section, and see what our members have.
Thanks again,
Bob D
