    I've played with tilt and trim and it only get worse. It's good at 20 to 25mph bit any faster and the hopping begins. The height of the engine is the same as the 50 Wich was factory on that boat

    The boat had a 50hp stock it didn't do it. I put the 85;on it and now it is. Thinking maybe weight related. Transom is good. All floors I put in myself so there good also.

    Well just to keep everyone updated took the boat out today and it ran great plenty of power runs really smooth no gas leaks.

    Blows my mind on how a outboard can run so different out of water than when in water. Even with foot down in a drum

    Carb leaking gas from top two holes 1989 85hp

    Yeah it's different. Same size though. I'm gonna give it a try. Sorry I posted another thread on this and some say there's don't even have a clip and work fine. They say the replacement is heavier so it does not need the clip.
