His boat is rated for 150hp if he puts a 90hp on the boat and crashes the investigator or insurance adjuster will see a plate that says 150hp. In fact to change the plate at all would be breaking the law. If they looked up the boat it would say 150hp. There is no tiller rating on that boat so he has no legal obligation to put a 75hp on that boat. I certainly understand someone who works for Tuffy would not be able to recommend that but the fact is if you wanted a lower rated plate you could not get one. That's why the new plates have two ratings because it was an oversight. They have two ratings now to protect the manufacturer from liability witch is a good indicator you are not liable if you changed the motor. Now that you have asked the question online and someone from Tuffy told you not to do it you are liable and should just buy a 75hp.
