TRS to #3's or #5's
 
What's involved in changing from TRS's to SSM's? Can I reuse anything? Is it worth doing it or just got with Konrads?

Thanks :drink:

I think Konrads are the way to go. To go to SSM's you need new transom assemblys and your x-dimension will be way off so you'll need to relocate the motors, get new tailpipes, plug and cut the new transom. Not to mention you'll need much more expensive SSM style props.
I may stand corrected but I think all the SSM Cafe's had Stellings exhaust vs. Gils and Mercs and it may have been because of the different x-dim.
I've heard nothing but good things about Konrad's

Konrads! They'll bolt on as advertised (unlike anything else in the Marine industry) and work great. We've sold them and run them on our own boat. 3 seasons and over 350 hours without any trouble.
