Well it seems i should have listened to my old dad and done some research before buying anything.I started of by buying the boat whilst on holiday (spur of the moment thing)Pheonix psd110 with a 15hp Suzuki long shaft engine.Then i found that the engine was incorrect and should be a short shaft.Then a freind at work whos father in law was ill mentioned he had a short shaft for sale so i just bought it.The mariner 30m.Now i have just found out that the boat should have a plate on it and it hasnt and the max engine size is 20hp.
I have weighed the engine and its only 5 kg heavier than the suzuki and i have no intention of running around flat out.
Do you think its wise to use this engine or should i throw the towel in now
