Don 0 Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hi all, New to forum. Bought a 1995 2440 came with 2 225 Mercury's. I'm re powering to 2 250hp Yamaha 2005's. Will the weight be a significant factor? Will i have to re locate scuppers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2-N-TOW 0 Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hi Don and welcome to the forum. Those Mercury's weigh 460 lbs each; the newer Yamaha's are 592 lbs each. Overall weight increase of 264 lbs. Looks like you already have the motors hung on the boat. Best way to check is put boat in the water and get 3 people standing at the transom. If it is a problem, before moving the scuppers, get some of the ping pong ball valves to go over the scuppers so water cannot enter when they are below water level.

Don 0 Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 Still working out a few bugs but the two 250's are working well. Still have not figured out the macerator pump for the head. But work in progress. YouCut_20210407_140428685.mp4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
