I'm thinking of replacing my old Johnsson 70hp -88.
I have been looking at a new Evinrude e-tech 75 hp or 90 hp. They look very similar and weigh exactly the same (319 lbs), so I assume it is basically the same motor.
However, it is weighing 66 lb more than my old motor (253 lbs), so I have to consider that the boat will be deeper into the sea than before.
When the old motor is tilted (fully up), the skeg is still dipping into the sea water approx 1.5 inch, which causes fouling. With a new heavier motor this will of course be worse.
Does someone know if the new motor (Evinrude e-tech 90 or 75) can tilt higher, so it comes fully out of the water (20"inch length). Is the tilt angle a standard for all motors? Has the tilt angle increased since 1988?
This is the most compact motor for its power, that I have found (four strokes are heavier). Any other recommendations?
kind regards
Robert
