Default 125.

I ve got local bike dealer whos going to contact me the next 125 or above that gets writen off. It must be an easier convertion, rip off the back tire, automatic gears and a throttle built in. Let you know how it goes. Just need some one to crash unfortunatly

my winch is a 7.5hp with a torq-a-verter clutch and me and Trigger have done deepwater starts from about 80 meters away, BUT we're pretty small humans and very experienced on working with the pull to get an easy start. there is definatly a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Hi Guys!

The 9hp is enough for deep water start it depend on transmission only!
I use this type of engines for my winches and if you can stand up behind a boat than you can do it with a 9hp winch too.

Take care

G.
