Re: shaft lenght and weight of motor
anders, there's not any appreciable performance difference between 20" & 25" motors...25 is more desirable due to 5 more inches of transom height...harder for water to get over and allows motor to tilt all the way outta the water when docked...
The new 175 & 200 HP Optis each weigh in at 497 lbs...(see correction below...Slot caught me...)
Couldn't find weight for your 135 Mariner , but 135 Opti is 431 and 135 Evinrude DI is 419 ... if ya want the Opti, I'm sure not tryin' to steer ya away...it's a GREAT motor, very fuel efficient and POWERFUL as all get-out!!
But the E-Tec 200 (not HO) tips the scale at 419 lbs...you'd add 65 HP and NO weight...this is the motor that two members here have recently or in the process of having installed on their "V"...
Something to consider ;) ...
