    Repowering. Yamaha to Merc?

    How hard is it to change engine manufacturers? I have a Ranger 2002 518VX with a Yamaha HPDI now and I am having issues finding a SHO. I know where I can get a merc tho.

    I repowered once from an OMC motor to Yamaha. Had to get new controls, oil reservoir, tach (with trim gauge) and hotfoot. I skipped the speedo/gas gauge.

    Use a smartcraft or vessel view link for gauges if you graphs are compatible (most are)
    Vessel view Mobil if you want it displayed on you phone for less than 200. Personally I hate this option but it is a cheap option
