A heavier engine might need two persons or a hoist. How much longer time to install a 40HP than a small engine? Would you please give me a ball-park figure? Do we need any special expensive tool that a person is not likely to have? Sound like this is a two-persons job... If you have a hoist, one person can do this, but two persons are more convenient. Time, probably 30 minutes. The tools you need are a couple of wrenchs. And for the first time installation you need to drill holes for the mounting bolts. (Usually 4 holes.) By the way, I have a 40HP Suzuki 4 stroke. It is 108kg, to heavy for even 2 persons. A hoist is needed, but the I can install it alone. But it is very convenient to have someone holding the wrench on the other side when I am tighten the bolts. -- Oddgeir Still building a boat http://www.oddgeirkvien.com/baat |
