The engine is a mercury 75hp outboard (1993) 3 cylinder carburettor version, its a 2 stroke with auto oil mix. I will make a plate for the transom to raise the engine as it is a longshaft 20" and the transom is only 16". The trim and tilt all work well and the engine is in good condition overall.I am looking for a 14ft steering cable for it ( larger style cable for 55hp and above) hoping that this engine will push the boat along with little effort and therefore cut down on fuel costs , but i must admit this is all a bit of trial and errror and i may end up swapping for another engine at a later date , i will keep you posted :)
