    GW 226 Control cable length ?

    Does anyone happen to know what length throttle and shift cables are used on a 2000 226? I am looking to repower with a Suzuki DF250 and I am trying to round up some of the rigging components. I am not at the boat to be able to try to figure it out. Thanks.

    Are there any problems with testing compression with the engine tilted up. I thought I would do it with the boat in the water. Easier to get to the cylinders this way.

    Any 248/258 with single 300 hp ?

    Is anybody running a 248 / 258 with a single 300? I would be interested in knowing how the performance is. I had a 248 with twin 150 2-stroke and thought the performance was quite good. Just curious how a single 300 might stack up against that.
