Yeah there are usually a few floating around , I just need a powerhead
You'll also need an adapter plate unless if you're running on a two-piece. I think 15" ProMax's came on one piece plates from the factory, so you may be ok there.

What all you carrying in that thing?????? :gasp :gasp :gasp


Everything, I was fishing a tournament lol

That's two people, 3/4 tank of gas, 15 rods, tackle , tools,spare prop etc stuffed in every inch of storage compartments, Livewell full and fish in it.

And to answer another question, yes it's a 200 super mag.
225 front half,ecu and cut heads but it's still a 200


It pulls like a freight train to 6k then just stops, I can trim it higher and get more rpm, but the speed stays the same.

Motor just runs out of power with all my junk on board

I've been alot faster with less junk in the boat, but that's what I'm carrying 99.9999999% of the time.

A 7 pedal front turning WOT @ 6000 rpms.. I would think it would run better with a 5 pedal front if you are only going to spin 6000. A stock 200 is a great running motor.
Sounds like you have everything in the boat but the kitchen sink.. Try it empty and see how it does. Does it have a rev limiter???????


I'm going to have a 280 drop on for sale in a few weeks.

A 225 front half and ecu is what makes a 200 into a 225 right?,bore ,crank and rods are the same ,the ecu and front half is where the extra power comes from.

No...they don't even share the same block. A 225 Promax has some behind the liner stuff that a .200 doesn't.
