Tom, I have no information about the Yamaha 9.9 GPXR and would certainly advise
that the electric tilt mechanism is not suitable. We now install the Yamaha 9.9
GEX with a stainless steel adaptor kit A$306 (each motor) to eliminate the
plastic cable connectors, invert the new external gear change and centering
bracket. The new 10 pin loom needs to be cut and joined to have one short and
one long length. The starter panel is very simple wiring of the off/on/start
wires with hoer meter connected to the on terminal. Kind Regards, Graeme

Tom,
Not aware of any of this as no one locally has re-powered, other than Joe
Weathers a couple of years ago. I have copied the scoaa owners group on this
e-mail so hopefully someone will come back with some ideas. Where did you get
the engines?

Kurt,
We are in Shelter Bay trying to install 2 new Yamaha 9.9 GPXR motors. We have
run into some problems. The power tilt mechanism is too long for the existing
motor mount. Graham had led us to believe the GPXR was the correct motor and
apparently the GEXR would have worked better (not available in the US). We are
attempting to address tghis issue by raising the old motor mount 2".
The other issue we have is that the old 9.9s had a 7 pin wiring harness and the
new 9.9s have a 10 pin wiring harness. Are you aware of any adapters or do we
have to find a 10 pin harness and rewire the ignition?
Have you had any other Seawind 100s upgrade their motors recently?
Tom

Tom,
The 9.9 has a changed a bit over the years, and sometime varies
depending on wether it is a domestic (US) or international engine. Either will
fit in the Seawind, just need to make sure it is the 25" shaft, high thrust
with remote control and electric start and you are good.

Graeme,
I am the owner of a 2000 Seawind 1000 hull #78 (Mañana). I need to replace the
engines and I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions for new engines that
will fit the 1000 footprint. I am currently in Panama and have received a
quote for the Yamaha 9.9 GPXR.
1. Is this the correct engine for the Seawind 1000
2. Is this the BEST available engine for the Seawind 1000
3. Will this engine fit in the seawind engine compartments
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Tom McCarthy
