[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 457103, member: 3278"] [size=5]This topic has been covered here before and you can probably look it up. Your particular answer is a fairly simple one though. The 48/50 hp engines are identical. OMC made a no-frills 28, 48, and 88 SPL series of engines to get engines in the hands of consumers at a lower price. Often these engines had no power trim or VRO system on them and usually had lower output charging systems. Horsepower-wise they were the identical powerhead to the versions that were the standard 30, 50, and 90hp engines. Your "swap" has already been done numerous times with good success. Just pull the complete assy. and bolt it on. [/size] [/QUOTE]
