If you have a 2 piece adapter plate leave it.

You need to post what motor you have and if you have a 1 piece or 2 piece adapter between the motor and midsection. Telling us what boat you have isn't necessary but we all like to know.
If I don't ask any questions, I'll never learn anything.

boat is a 17' lake and bay
engine is a 200hp carb I think 1997, im not sure if 2.0 2.4 or 2.5 (how can I tell?)
the poppet has a 2 piece housing, and im in the process of sending my gearcase to bobs, and I hear that the poppet doesn't like the higher water pressure associated with the nose cone low water pickup. if that setup is going to run fine, then im happy to leave it alone

97 200 is a 2.5, or "should be", unless the power head has been changed.
Serial number or a picture would help ID what you have.James H. W2F a V-King... Want 2 Fly a V-King
