    Default Low water pick up Nose cone for 50hp

    Hi,i've been looking for a low water nose cone kit for a Yamaha 50hp.
    I have tried Bob's & they say they don't make a kit for the smaller motors

    They advised me to send in my gearbox & they can modify one to fit,but i'm located in Australia & would cost me a fortune in freight.

    Anyone know of a kit available for this motor or any suggestions.

    Thanks

    apparently Ron Hill has cast a couple of small ones - why not write him a mail?

    I'm pretty sure anyone with the skill to install it can convert it to a low water pick up
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    buy the kit , Make it fit, you can do it, i've done it. spend your $$ to have the cone welded.
    you can shorten the cone, it's on hear, someware.

    The added height you'll be able to run at will of course mean you'll wanna try different props. Good Luck
