Lightning Series Lower Unit

[Evans 595]

I have a 2000 225 non HO Evinrude, If I put a Lightning Lower Unit on it, would it give me more speet or what?

[ChampioNman]

Yeah Maybe a mile or two.

[triton1cos]

id say depends on what boat.

Right...you would see the most significant difference on a hull design like Allison, Stroker, & Bullet where you can get the propshaft above the pad, run bigger props, & surface the prop. Otherwise, the difference won't be very much.

It won't live surfacing the case.........:) gonna end up pinning the carrier on it and the last ones I tried to run at 1.75" above pad on a bullet cooked the seals out of it with lwp.....

The boat is a 595 Charger 2000 22ft.

Very true...OMC never caught up with Merc on dependable high po lower units & BRP hasn't either.

Heavy boat & not a high po hull...save your $ and just stick with the LU you have.

22' Charger w/ non Ho 225, Probably not do any good. Your ratio would be 1.85 instead of 1.86 SIC , would have a thinner profile, but water pick would be the same unless you put a Bob's nose cone on it. You don't have the ponies to really be able to hot rod the thing on a heavy boat like that......I'd an exercise in futility..............JMHO
