I am still enjoying my Dads original 1985 Lund Nisswa side console. Still has the original 50 HP Mariner on it which has seen better days and is a little under powered.

I was thinking replacing the motor with a tiller this year but it looks like it is only rated for 50 hp.

Does anyone have experience with a Nisswa from back then with 50hp tiller? How well did it push the boat?

I am worried on the performance with 3 people in the boat since the 50hp I have now seems to struggle. It may just be the age of the motor though.

The side console is rated for a 80hp. Would I be better off just looking for a 75hp remote steer?

Also how does anyone know how the weight of the newer motors affects the ratings on older boats?

Thanks
