    REPOWER RIGGING QUESTION

    If I repower my Boston Whaler Outrage that has a 2003 Optimax 200HP s/n OT760174 with a 2017 optimax 200HP s/n 2B400085 that comes MOTOR ONLY with NO rigging, what new rigging will I need to run the 2017 opti?

    My 2003 opti is rigged with two smartcraft gauges with blue blacks, a paddle wheel on the stern, seperate dash mounted key and kill switches, oil tank, dash mounted temp sensor, and a top mount binnacle control.

    Thanks

    Ok, one adapter harness and everything else stays the same. Love it.

    Adapter harness would normally be the only thing required, as suggested. Be sure to inspect control, cables, oil tank, hoses, fuel line/bulb, steering system, jackplate, and plan to install NEW engine mounting hardware (correct, OEM hardware STRONGLY suggested).
