[QUOTE="Oldgeek, post: 186359, member: 4712"] There are no dumb questions here, only if you don't ask them. If you don't have any experience with outboards, everything is new. If you have a little mechanical ability and ask questions, you can probably mount it yourself with a little help from a friend. Even a 25HP can be pretty heavy if you are trying to wrestle it yourself. If you buy it from a dealer, they should assist you with mounting. Is it electric start? Make sure it is centered on the transom plate and secure. Consider a transom saver to keep the bouncing down and the prop off the pavement. If it will have cables for the transmission, throttle and steering, then I'd have it installed. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
