I am shopping for a used pontoon boat and while I'm finding several, I
am also finding out I will need to change out the motor with anything I
buy. We live in Memphis in an area with a private lake restricted to
15 HP. There are several pontoons on the water, so I know it will
work, but question is, how feasible is it to change out the motor. Do
you have to change out the control unit? Is it possible/likely to be
able to use the existing control unit if I buy the same brand motor as
I am replacing? Also, is it possible to create a jig to change back
and forth between two motors (i have a way to pick the heavy guy) with
ease so I can have the larger motor if we take the boat elsewhere?

Any input appreciated,
Cheers,
Frank
