Waste of time, money and trouble, Marine.

The BW 13s perform very well with 30HP and border on dangerous with 40.

there is alot you can do to modify this motor, but it is expensive and the maintenance also changes from once a year to once a month ....

That's good Boat / Motor Combination. Changing the prop can effect performance
