i know it sticks out like a sore thumb.i like the i/o but ive had my share of problems with it.motors benn hanging from a tree twice since 04 when i put it in.first was the coupler aluminum stripped out put steel coupler in no problems since.then oil pan was leaking probably my fault hit the quick drain plug that hangs out the pan a bit on the center stringer when putting it in the boat and didnt notice it til it started rusting and leaking.both things happened in the middle of a bass season of course,but i was atleast able to get them fixed fast myself.if was an outboard prob woulda been sitting at a dealer somewhere.other than that coil,water pump,alternator.
