I decided to sell the 115 Johnson and mount a Yamaha 90 fourstroke EFI that I pulled off one of my rental pontoons. I know it will be bit underpowered, but I'll prop it so it works. Problem is, the wood around the engine mounting bolts is wet and a bit soft. I could trim the old motor up, stand on the cavitation plate and jump up and down without any flex in the transom. Can I mount the Yamaha and run it for the rest of the year? I'd prefer to tear it down and do it right, but I don't have the time right now and I really should have a chase boat. Any opinions are welcomed...
