I am wondering when Triumph changed the allowable transom weight from 550 to 500? My 2004 specs clearly state a total transom hanging weight of 550, of which I have used to around 515 with my 140 Suzuki and a 7.5 Honda kicker (predecessor to the 8hp).

Cichild, I know you want the E-tech, and I can't blame you, they are nice motors. You could consider the Suzuki 175, which is the same block and weight as the Suz150. Don't know if that saves you the 8 pounds you need or not, but is a thought. I would also quiz your dealer when and why they trimmed 50 lbs from the allowable weight.
