Thanks, I’ll start there.

Does anyone have a source, part number, etc for the windshield wiper arm grommet (keeps water from entering around wiper)? Mine had corroded to crumbs over the past 25 years and now water leaks into the storage cubby in front of the helm.

Picked the boat up today with the new 175 rigged up. It’s whole lot quieter and seems to have plenty of power. Drive by wire is nice, but I’m going to miss the analog gauges. She sits lower in the stern for especially on the starboard side, but no water is coming through the scuppers, so I’m...

I would look for an instrument with the same cutout size—tide clock, thermometer, barometer, etc

Thats great news! I have at least another week on mine….gotta love boat mechanics— this is my 5th “ should be ready next week”

Good Deal! Sounds like it’s everything you hoped jt would be. You could probably hit 40mph by yourself as it’s rigged (which is plenty fast on the water IMO) and it’s easy enough to tinker with props after it’s broken in if you’re inclined.

Sounds like you’re getting some pretty nice upgrades! Either way I’ll post my results after my new power is on the transom so the next guys faced with this decision can have another thread to dig through

I was hoping you would respond. I have been watching your thread and anxiously waiting for you to post your results after getting the 140 I have read a lot of threads with a lot of theory, but have not seen a review with first hand experience with a <150 on a 192. I’m sure a 140 would meet my...

The boat sits pretty well with the FICHT right now. I usually keep the gas tank full and the scuppers stay above the water at rest unless two people are on the stern-then some water will come in through the stern. Getting on plane and attitude while underway is fine even when passengers are in...

It has the old 24 year old FICHT 175 believe it or not. It still runs, but parts are getting hard to find and the price of upgrading to a used Freedom 225’s in 2023 has gotten crazy, so repowering is extending the life of my old 192 and giving me an “upgrade” in the meantime. The dealer thinks...

Thats what I’m leaning toward. If for nothing else it will be easier to sell if I ever need to get rid of it.

I am in a similar situation with my 99 192. I am leaning toward the 140 Suzuki due to the lighter weight. Have you had a chance to get out on the water with your 140?

Does anyone have a 192 Tournament (or ridden on one) with the Suzuki 140? I am stuck between getting the 140 and saving weight or getting a 150 and having more power.- price is negligible between the two. I see a lot of threads with theoretical answers, but not many with real experience. I...

Just curious…as another 192 owner with original 20+ year old original power and a re-power on the horizon; is Mercury more DIY friendly than other brands?

I received the attached from GW customer service a few years ago when I asked about bunk spacing for my 192. Not sure if it applies to the 190, but they may be able to give you the same diagram for the 190…

Great idea! I’m jealous of that polished gelcoat.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the windshield braces for a 1999 192 Tournament? The original factory units are starting to crack on the ends. I reached out to GW customer service, but they did not have the part numbers. thanks
