Repowering Bennington 18 with Suzuki 60

[shoalsgary]

I’m replacing the Merc 60 that came on my new Bennington 18, with a Suzuki 60A. What prop do you suggest?

Give Ken at propgods.com a call.

Already ordered a prop but thanks

I suspect Bennington made a deal with Mercury to de-rate this boat to 60hp. It needs and can handle 70hp

Ummm….it doesn’t work that way.

Ok

Probably takes same size as your previous motor. What did you order?

Suzuki 60 after I noticed the HP rating was 60, not 70 like the literature the salesman gave me said
