I just purchased a 1994 Parker walkaround with a 2015 Evinrude G2 250HP with very low hours.
The boat has the closed transom with SS bracket.
A local dealer installed the motor.
When the boat is on plane it performs good.
When the boat is running below plane but above about 8 knots (plowing as displacement), the engine is covered with water splashing up to cowling.
The water spray is so bad that this new cowling almost came off. I also got a temp alarm that went away after planning.
It appears that if I have the boat trim tabs in the nose up position less water is evident.
Anyone have suggestions on mounting Outboard on 94 Parker with a bracket?
It appears that during lower speeds a tail of water hits the motor directly?
I called Evinrude and they said I could purchase an installation manual from the dealer (that installed the motor)?
Although, I think this is a Parker issue?
Not a problem at higher speeds, but when you are in rough water (in the pass) sometimes you need to go slower and that is when you do not need these problems.
Engine mount top bolt goes through top hole in bracket and third hole down on engine.
