[QUOTE="Timtactical, post: 359516, member: 14700"] On with the motor, when I got the boat home I looked up the model information and found out it is an Evinrude 10hp made in 1983, which is listed as a 9.9 hp. I then went to and did a lot of reading here: https://www.leeroysramblings.com/Outboard%20Motor%20Related/OMC%20outboard%20related%20articles.html This guy has great info, pictures etc on these motors. So with the information I had, I wanted to bump up the hp up to 15 hp. It basically gets you a bit more rpm and a couple mph vs the 9.9. So I pop the cover and the motor looks like brand new inside. The plugs are clean, but I do the normal maintenance. So new plugs, lower unit oil, new fuel lines and clean the fuel filter. I unbolt the carb, checked the numbers and to my amazement this motor has already had the 15 hp conversion done. This is great if your on a hp restricted lake and is better than just swapping engine covers. [/QUOTE]
