Default Rio 51

Im new to boating and was wondering if anybody has put a ZEN 23 with a clutch in a Rio 51. If anybody has done one would you please replay. The engine is air cooled.
Thanks for any help. Tom

Hi Tom,

don't bother, stick a 26cc Zen in there and be done with it. You are on the right track to replace the motor in the Rio though.
