WE WANT TO REPLACE OUR 10 HP OUTBOARD WITH A FOUR STROKE ENGINE. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED A 15 HP HONDA FOUR STROKE. THIS SOUNDED GOOD UNTIL WE MEASURED THE SIZE OF THE WELL. IS THE WELL TO SMALL TO ACCOMIDATE ANY OF THE NEWER ENINGES? THE DEALERS ARE IGNORANT WHEN IT COMES TO SAILBOATS. IF FOUR STROKE IS NOT DOABLE WHAT SIZE TWO CYCLE WILL TO THE JOB AND FIT IN THE WELL. HELP!

Re: FOUR STROKE OUTBOARDS FOR CD 25 WHAT FITS?
We installed an 8hp Honda in our 1975 CD25 last year. Don't know the dimensions of the 15 hp but if it is ANY larger than the 8 hp it most likly won't fit. The 8hp will go in but requires some modifications. (No fiberglass work.)GEOFF MATZE wrote: WE WANT TO REPLACE OUR 10 HP OUTBOARD WITH A FOUR STROKE ENGINE.

The 8hp Honda has shown to be more than adequate for anything we have needed. Like it a lot.
