New Home, New to Me FC530 Project: Powering & Air Valve Repl?

Crapgame · 03 July 2018, 06:54

OK, been at my new place in FL since March. I've got an FC530 Project on the way to me. Right off the bat, I know it needs valve covers and an engine. The Inflatable keel has come loose from the bow but has its valve cap present. I was >< this close to getting a 50hp Johnson Enforcer MARS engine for $900 local but had medical issues to deal with. Now my best hope is a 35hp Johnson Enforcer MARS engine with low hours. I already have a brand new in the box long shaft pump jet lower but I think it only fits the older 25-35hp MARS engines.

Anyhooo, other than valve covers, what else am I needing? Yeah, I know, keep an eye out for a deal on an 18l fuel bladder.

I'd encourage you to wait and get a 55 or more hp. I had a 30 enforcer on an f470 and it was adequate but I would want the 55 on that. Especially if it is durajet.

I have a 2015 Evinrude 55HP MFE that I would be looking to let go. Standard lower, but also have the durajet in the shed. The engine has 19 hours and is in perfect condition.
