Anyone else have one of these? I LOVE these motors. They have so much torque it is unreal. Hopefully I'm going Monday to pick up another one to have as a spare. It really bites as they are still made for other countries. Just not the USA or Canada.
If I get the other one I think that one I am going to mod it a little bit. Already have a intake and 40 Tohatsu carbs. I also have a friend with a blown up 40hp Yamaha, I think I might set up the 40 lower to work on the 30. It will give me a bunch of options for props over the 30hp lower unit. It is an 1987 40 so it should work with re-splining the input shaft and modifying the shift linkage. I am still learning what can be done with this motor.
I have to talk to the guys at Hydrotech before I start tearing into it though. I might just bring the motor to them and let them set it up. I'd like to get 45hp or so out of it and keep it a little bit reliable.
