[QUOTE="zq8blazer, post: 304272, member: 11097"] Did redoing your harness work? Idk if you have a 16' flat bottom or MV, but I have a 16' MV Monark and when I bought it the previous owners had a 75hp Stinger2 motor on it which is above the boats rating. The motor got the boat moving down the lake pretty good, but the boat sat real low in the back. It also had manual tilt which was a PITA. I had a 60hp 87 Merc with tilt on it lying around so I started going through it and getting it working correctly. I'm still working on getting it to plane just right, but I can tell you this, no way would I want to go any lower than a 60hp. Of course like I pretty much just fish on lakes, I guess if it was for the river a 40-50 would be fine. That being said, I'd still try to get your current engine running and sell it to someone. It's worth much more running than not. His harness shouldn't be that difficult to rebuild. If it were me I'd take pictures of the connections and label them. Then I'd run a new wire to each end. I had to do this to some of mine on my Blazer when I did an engine swap, now those harness's are complicated if you don't know what you're doing. [/QUOTE]
