 Topic: Pro Boss SwapPosted: August-02-2004 at 7:35pm |
|
I have a 95 SN w/ the standard 351 and EFI, it has 370 hrs. and runs fine. I also have a 93 SN w/ bad hull. The 93 has the Pro Boss carbed high output motor at 550 hrs. I have had this one for 8 years, never had to wrench on it (only norm. maintanance impellers,oil and trans change and a steer cable) and it runs strong. I want to do a motor/trans swap. because i miss the extra mph and hp/torque of the pro boss. The local correct craft mechanic says its a fairly simple swap. Disconnect all controls/fuel/elec/prop shaft/ engine mounts and lift out. upon reinstalling shaft pay close attn. to tolarances. i have access to a forklift for the exchange. any way i wanted to know what the thoughts /ideas you all have on this. Thanks in advance. Darrel F.

suprised...33 looks all by guys w/o an opinion...is everyone married and the wife wasnt around to ask?...
 all kidding aside
i did it anyway, built a 10 ft high lift in my garage w/ $38. in lumber and a $39 come-a-long on Saturday, under $80 total investment. Sunday pulled and reinstalled both motors. I had never done this before so it was a great experience. It was actually eaiser than anticipated. Both are bolted in place and i have connected throttle and shift cables. Tonight i should be able to finish up fuel lines, and misc. Waiting on a few underwater parts from skidim, looking forward to test ride. |

Darrel,
Was the motor you removed from the '95 a Throttle Body Injection or a Multi-Port Injection? |

Martinique, It is a EFI "PRO SKI" motor. Does that answer your question? if not , let me know what to look for and i'll tell you.
