ENGINE & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I am using a Suzuki 50 Hp 4-stroke engine.

50

Cylinders: I-3

All of the gauges are Suzuki also. This makes things easy for wiring because they all loop together.

SIDE CONTROL

I encountered a problem when installing the engine. The steering linkage is to long when turning right. I had to cut out part of the seat to allow it to turn.


I filled in the cutout with some plywood from underneath
