We seem to have several threads mixed here, but Imguess that happens. The kit doesn’t change the mag plate. If you need one of those you have to buy it separate.
The 50hp would be a better choice and if you could find the commercial unit with the larger 3cylinder/V-4 style gearcase it would be better still. The bigger blade area prop will work better on pontoon boats. Four blades are better than three for turns and cavitation. The 50hp can stand the full 6000rpm, but that is rarely what you need on a pontoon. WOT is not practical in most cases. Neither is trim, but nice for shallow water and tilting or setup. That’s why I like the ’89 model and up. Much better TNT unit.
