Member Posts: 7 Comments: 0 Joined: 01/19/20	1978 15 Sport repowered recently with a 2023 Suzuki DF60A. Wanted to share results for those thinking of a repower. Results are with a 3 blade PowerTech 17p stainless prop. Running 44mph with one adult and 6 gallons of fuel onboard. Unbelievable cruising nearly 16 mpg. Engine is mounted very high due to the splashwell but no cavitation. Engine weighs 229 lbs. Mattzilla5 attached the following image: [70.58Kb] Edited by Mattzilla5 on 05/06/23 - 7:40 PM

Any chance you could post a photo of the splashwell area from the bow end (so to speak) so that I can see how you mounted it. Many thanks.

I emailed you the measured drawing of the BIA standard pattern. To mount the engine, I would start with the top bolt in the 3rd hole counting down from the top (assuming the top mounting hole is 1-7/8" (47.6 mm) down from the top of the transom. When you raise or lower the engine it will affect WOT rpm's by 150 for each hole, plus or minus.
