Wellcraft 190 ccf repower engine mounting
Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2024 11:30 pm
I have a 1997 190 ccf center console. Current original motor is a johnson 115 spl mounted so cavitation plate is about 2 inches higher than the very bottom of the boat. I was told that due to my stepped transom that you should mount the motor so the cavitation plate is 1 inch higher than the bottom of the boat for every 12 inches of setback. Putting on a yamaha 130 v4 2 stroke 20 inch longshaft. Should I mimic where the johnson is mounted? I did not try the boat in its current configuration so I don't know if there are cavitation issues but former owner didn't mention anything. Thanks
