Transom Confusion
Thinking of repowering my 04 170 CC in a couple of years. Here's the problem the transom plate says max 75 horse/max 388 lbs. According to the dealer I bought the boat from they used to power them with a 90 horse prior to 03/04. Due to the weight of the 4 strokes they quit putting 90s on them. Here is were I'm scratching my head. The Yamaha 2 stroke 90 horse is listed at 261 lbs which is within the transom weight range but not horse power range. I would like to mount a 90 on her but I'm afraid it will invalidate the warranty. I wish Triumph would go with one or the other max 75 horse or max 388 lbs. It's confusing to say the least. Oh well I guess I'm just venting a little, I'll probably go with a 75 when the time comes. Still wouldn't have any other boat.
