 Motor upgrade
Any one care to help me out?
Im getting ready to purchase a 35 horse MB. I am wanting a little more juice then just 35 HP. What are some options for upgrades and what will each do as far as adding HP.
It will be going on a 16/48. Thanks for any tips.

 Re: Motor upgrade
just buy one of the other motors that MB sells that are already upgraded atleast you get a warranty with it.

 Re: Motor upgrade
What is your budget? That may help with what mods you should be looking into.

 Re: Motor upgrade
Stage one would fit in your budget. Look at evt's website. Think you can get labor and everything right around two grand.

 Re: Motor upgrade
I couldn't tell you man. Its a considerable gain though. Its quite a bit of work. Probably gonna pick up a few mph at most, but load carrying ability and hole shot will be dramatically increased.

 Re: Motor upgrade
Did you not hear what you were looking for? I think those were moderate estimates. The gain is significant. What are you hoping to gain?

 Re: Motor upgrade
Well i been running a 16/48 triton with a 40 merc and was running around 31 by my self and high 20's with a load. I am getting another 16/48 that will be a whole lot lighter. So i'm thinking if i can get it up around the 40 HP mark i can run the same speeds. At the same time other then changing the oil on my 25HP lawn mower i've never dealt with these motors so i don't know what to expect.

 Re: Motor upgrade
You should be able to run about the same as the old 40 with a stage 1.

 Re: Motor upgrade
That's kinda what i was thinking. I figured with the stage 1 and the lighter boat i may get a couple or few extra MPH.

 Re: Motor upgrade
Head work and High Flow stainless Exhaust- see how it runs.
If you want more, then put on the M-carb kit.
BPS or EVT parts.
