1971 13 ft Boston Whaler Restoration | Installing a 30 HP Suzuki Outboard with Riser Brackets
Welcome back to our Boston Whaler restoration series! In this video, we’re diving into the exciting and detailed process of installing a 30 HP Suzuki outboard motor on our classic 1971 13 ft Boston Whaler.

What You'll See:

Motor Installation: Watch as we tackle the challenge of mounting a 30 HP Suzuki outboard with a 20-inch shaft on a 15-inch transom. We use angle riser brackets to ensure the cavitation plate is level with the bottom of the boat.
Cable Setup: Follow along as we install the shifter and throttle cables. The 10 ft cables were the perfect fit for this setup!
Hoist System: To lift the motor safely, we installed an overhead trolley hoist using a VEVOR electric winch. This setup made the heavy lifting a breeze.
