Re-power 16 SL with modern engine
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2022 7:15 am
I have a 16 SL with a 1992 or 1993 Mercury 90-HP two-stroke-power-cycle engine. I want to replace that engine with a modern four-stroke-power-cycle engine.
The Yamaha F90LB has been recommended. I believe the current engine weighs 290-lbs and the F90LB weighs 353-lbs, or 63-lbs more.
Give me your opinion if I should repower my 16 SL with a Yamaha F90LB [with an inference that the concern is the increased engine weight].
