    From the only thing I found online it has a rating of 75hp, but you should confirm the size before installation

Look for the Manufacturer's capacity plate. It will specify how many persons the boat can safely hold and the maximum horse power rating. It can usually be found around the transom (back of the boat) were the motor is mounted or near the steering console.

SOURCE: Assembeling the Cimerron Pontoon Boat

I have a similar boat, but it's been a year or so since I used it. Here's what I remember.

Lay it all out first. It's very confusing until you get a visual. The seat rests on two bars. These bars span the two pontoons. I believe they use pins, rather than bolts to secure it. You probably have a basket and maybe a trolling motor mount. Get rid of the mount, unless you plan on using it. If you do, it attaches to the rear basket. The basket mounts to the back of the chair and rear bar with bolts.

Next, the leg holders slide in and there should be pins to hold them in place for the right distance. If there is a stand up plate and a casting bar, you're on your own on how to attach them. Obviously they go in the front, but I have no idea how they are attached.

Mine had an anchor, but this was a huge hassle. Much easier to pull to shore than park in the water.

There is probably a mesh type piece that fits under or around your seat with bungies or hooks. It may have a fish measure on it. If it does, that goes to the front.

The oars are merely pinned in at a comfortable spots. There should be oar "stops," that slide over your oars. Again, you have to adjust the length to how long your arms are. They don't slide too easily. And, they are needed so your oars don't slide off into the water.

The side bars should have a hump to rest the pontoons on. Buy a double pump and save some time, (or an electric pump). The following is the most important fact of all, You have two bladders in each pontoon. Inflate them BOTH. Air up one from the front, then the other from the rear, back and forth until the pontoon is ready to burst. This prevents a disaster. If one deflates or is punctured, the other one has enough air to support you to shore. Strap them on and you're ready to go. And I would suggest a practice run in calm water first. They are a little awkward at first. Good luck

What is the maximum outboard hp recommended for a 1989 18' Sunbird center console.

There should be a Coast Guard registration plate that recommends a maximum horse power rating for that boat. If there is none, the rating in the range of 200 to 300 HP is enough. IF you are sure of the length 300 HP is pushing it.

I have a 03 Sun Tracker pontoon & Merc 60 my throttle trim will lower motor but not raise it.It works fine from motor ,up & down okAlso just had voltage reg. replaced and tach stopped working .Help

Time to just go threw all the wiring. You have a boat. It's on the water or not. On the water electrolysis kicks in 1000%. On land corrosion set in. Check and clean the wire plugs, replace if necessary. Replace ground point connectors. Add wire if necessary. Just a note. When I do boats, I solder all connections and use silicone shrink wrap on the wires.

probably an endura 50 would be a better fit for a potoon boat. assuming the boat is normal size. if its a smaller one then this motor might work just fine. give it a try and see if it moves you about fast enough for your taste.

Is it compatible 3.5 HP engine with the boat? (mariner 4) if yes , when i used %30 of power just alone back side go down and can not control properly . engine is TOHATSU M 3.5 S

Your motor is too large.

For the Intex Mariner 4 Intex recommend an absolute maximum of 3HP (2,2kW) and the motor must not weigh more than 40lb (18,2kg).

Those limits assume that you are using the Intex motor mount kit (Part No. 10658) and that the boat is correctly loaded and inflated.

In reality and from experience I would personally recommend 2HP maximum power and to keep the motor as lightweight as possible. Although the Intex Mariner 4 can take a motor mount, it's really a rowboat and is not suited to using a motor for extended periods, but just as a convenient tender to a larger boat it's fine.
