I have a 190 Montauk with a new E-TEC 150. I would like to install a kicker to match the E-TEC, but Evinrude does not make anything smaller than a 25-HP engine. [Solicits] suggestions or recommendation to match up [the color] of both engines. [Thanks], Fred

My recommendation would be a Yamaha high-thrust 8 or 9.9-HP. [These engines have] little weight, and the little outboards are built to push big loads slowly. I have a 1973 OUTRAGE 21, but I put a 15-HP [four-cycle auxiliary engine] on it. I did this because I run far offshore and did not want to have to mix oil and have the ability to run it off my main tank.

The little high-thrust may come in [a four-cycle] nowadays.

My 2cents

You can match the engine color by re-painting the auxiliary engine to match the main engine. Bombardier sells the paint for the E-TEC in small spray cans. It shouldn't take more than a two or three cans to paint a small auxiliary engine. The paint is about $10 per can.

Thanks for the input, I did think about a repaint but I wanted to avoid painting a new engine if possible. I also thought about a 9.9 and that might be the way I go although I'd rather let a pro do the painting than use spray cans.

Thks,

Fred

I to considered painting my Yamaha 9.9 with power tilt to match my ETEC200HO on my Outrage 210, but could not bring myself to do it on a new engine and there is more greased parts on the power tilt model, making it prone to peeling if not completly degreased.

You sort of get use to it:

BTW the 9.9 maybe a bit heavy for your 190 Montauk

Steve:

What size do you recommend and why. The 190 is 2,000 lbs. I had a 6 HP on my old 17 and I thought it was to small.

Thks,

Fred

You can see in this picture by looking at the splashwell drains the amount of list you get with the 9.9.

Here's a nice and simple bracket for the Merc Bigfoot FYI,

My custom one was to match the boarding platform on the starboard side.

It's more noticeable underway as there is less hull in the water, I correct it by having one trim tab down a bit further.

The 9.9 with power tilt is quite heavy at ~100lbs and pushes my 210 easily at +6mph. Which I think is its normal max displacement speed.

I got the 9.9 as there is no way I was going to lean over the back and raise it manually, access is a bit better on your 190, also my 210 with all options is quite heavy.

You may of been disappointed with your previous 6HP if it did not have a large displacement prop on.

If you don't need the electric lift I think you may be lucky and find a new (but old) Johnson 4 stroke in white or even the old 8.8 that was a bit lighter

If you search the small boat electrical Jim posted the Yam wiring diagram for me and since these pictures I have installed a proper seastar/teleflex tie-bar and the Evinrude dual binnacle

Steve
