You've really went and done it now.
I saw this happen once before back in '73.
The sea Gods got really upset. Scuttlebutt was everywhere. Flotsom to the right, jetsom to the left. Lighthouses got heavy. Hermit crabs socialized. Freeboard got expensive. General quarters got demoted. It was total anarchy!

I'm afraid you're going to have to take on a boat restoration project to set things right. You might even need to develop MBS.

Seriously,
Are you saying that the ratios are different?

All kidding aside.......nothing happens.
You could run that outboard out of a milk jug and it would be fine.
