Re: 23 CC Engine Mounting
I just bought the 225 Opti on THT.
The deal contains everything except gauges and the prop. I didn’t want the non-SmartCraft gauges and the prop is a 15x13. My dealer said the engine would be an ‘08 if Merc still used year models, and it’s got a warranty till 2013.
The only thing now, do I use a jack plate, or build up the transom for the 30” engine?
The transom didn’t have any flex when I stood on the engines, but I’m going to drill a few holes to check for water. If it’s dry I’ll go with a jack plate. If it’s wet, I have to be a little more invasive.

The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low cost.
