Post PRO DRIVE Convert from No FPR -to-FPR
I`m wondering if a {NO} Full Power Reverse, can be converted to FPR?
And if it can, how much trouble is it. And what are some basic Pro`s and con`s. This would be a 2008- 36Hp- short transom model.

Easy as pie

Took me about 1.5 hours that was doing it by myself.


That means that a mere mortal, i.e. anyone other than me, it shouldn't take any longer than 3-4 hours.

Its whatever the FPR option on PD's website is. I believe its 475. Not hard to do. Would highly recommend it.

Would this conversion require a whole new ,and different lower unit?
Or would it be same unit , just different components that could be changed out?

Did it 2 years ago on a buddys motor and if i remember right all it is the adaptor kit. hardest part it gettin the power head off. Other than that it just bolts in place.
