Yamaha 115 on a CD 22?
- Thread starter CHardy
- Start date
I run the 2006 suzuki with a 14in diameter with 18pitch this is a suzuki prop . by the way I had a f115 yamaha with a 13 1/2in diam. with 17 pitch on a 19ft deck boat it ran wot. about 6000rpm and about 40mph great eng ,but i think the suzuki is better for the c-dory that's why I bought it .Bigger prop bigger gearcase more control and speed . if you live near a good suzuki dealer go for it .If not the new honda or yami would be good also .Wefing sells all three engs but usually puts on suzukis .

Repowered my 22' crusier with a f115 this year, Lots of power and I can cruise at 26 mph at 4400 rpm's. I run a solas 4 blade 15 pitch. Great motor and a perfect match for your dory. Plus a six year warranty. Brooks

While unsuccessfully researching the USCG Web site regarding useful information on propane storage, I ran across this in their FAQs:
Regulations FAQs
Can I use a bigger motor on my boat than what it's rated for?
It is not a violation of Coast Guard regulations to install or use an engine larger than specified on the capacity label, but there may be state regulations prohibiting it, and restrictions from your own insurance company regarding this.
There are no Coast Guard regulations against exceeding the safe loading capacity, however, there may be State regulations or restrictions from your insurance company which prohibit this. There is a Coast Guard regulation that gives Coast Guard Boarding Officers the power to terminate the use of a boat (send it back to shore) if, in the judgment of the Boarding Officer, the boat is overloaded. There is no fine for this, unless the operator refuses the Boarding Officer's order. We certainly hope that you will abide by the rating, as overloading may lead to capsizing or swamping of the boat.
NOTE: The Coast Guard Capacity Information label is required only on monohull boats less than 20' in length. The label is not required on multi-hull boats, pontoon boats (catamarans), or on any sailboats, canoes, kayaks, or inflatable boats, regardless of length.
BTW, if you need to call the USCG to ask a question, forget it. They terminated their telephone Infoline on Oct. 1.
Makes me want to get up on my soapbox... ...but I won't.
Best of luck.
