Hi all
I have a 2005 model hull and am very close to signing up to repower it with a Yammi F150XL. I had/ have some concerns that the outboard may be too heavy for the transom. I have seen previous a previous thread on this site that the maximum weight rating is 190Kg and the Yammi comes in at 228kg, probably around 232kg with hydrolic steering fitted.
My compliance plate (situated just above the transom) says a max horsepower rating of 150, but doesn't specify a weight. In light of this, I called and followed up in a email with Yaltacraft directly, who informed me, in writing, that the max recommended weight was 220kg.
I guess what I would really appreciate peoples advice on is:
- (this may be a stupid question) Is there another compliance plate on the Yaltas that Im not aware of that states the weight?
- Mine is a 2005 model hull- does anyone know if they have increased the weight rating on the 555s over time?
- Can anyone point me in the direction of of any documentation that states the maximum transom weight of the 555s? I cant seem to find anything, that's why I went direct to Yalta when trying to figure it out.
- Im thinking (hoping) that in terms of potential damage to the transom caused by the extra 10-12kgs the yammi weights above the (allegedly?) 220kg rating would be pretty minimal. any thoughts on if the extra 10-12 would really have much effect?
- In terms of insurance, if my compliance plate only states 150hp and no weight and the max weighting (190-220kg?) info I was given only isn't written anywhere, I should not have a problem insurance wise if something was to go wrong?
Thanks a lot for any advice you could give me, it would be really appreciated and save me from a potential disaster, both boat and insurance wise! I need to make a decision in the next few days, and as you can probably tell, this is causing me a lot of indecision/ concern!
Cheers
