Consider replacing with an electric. I got a Torqueedo 1103S for my dinghy (9ft Zodiac rib). The motor with battery is around 38 lbs but disassembles and the battery can be installed after you put the motor on the boat. Quiet, no fuel, no mess, No smell, runs every time as long as you charge it. The 503 Model is under 30 lbs I think if you are concerned about weight. Also depends on which battery you get. More money up front but a lot less hassle in the long run I expect (new this year for me). Nathan S/V Wisper
