Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the HP rated at 105 instead of 150?
The 105ELPT is built on a 150hp powerhead; however, jet pumps experience a power loss of approximately 30% compared to props, resulting in a certified 105hp at the jet pump outlet.
2. Does this unit include remote controls?
This is a remote-steer model. Control boxes and cables are sold separately to ensure compatibility with your specific hull and rigging requirements.
