Hi All,
I recently launched my boat into the water after a 2 year restoration project its a 14ft fibreglass. It is currently running a 1966 Evinrude Sportfour 60hp however I'm having a few issues and would like some advise.
The engine currently sits extremely low in the water and the water covers the rear exhaust pipe. Is this a problems in terms of affecting or damaging the engine?
Also the stern of the boat sits quite low will this affect the performance of the speed of the boat is the bow is not properly lowered into the water. My thoughts are a more modern outboard would not weigh as much ?
Any advise will be appreciated.
