Default The Suzuki 2.5 hp makes the final cut...but what about TWO of them, in tandem?

Its simple,not complex. A tie bar between the tillers and you have it.

Now try and get them to always run at the same speed. And lets not forget trying
to suddenly throw them both in neutral. And, on these little motors, reverse is
swinging them around backwards. There is no PRACTICAL way to use two of these
little motors in tandem.

Hot Damn, man. Who wants to go backward? If you wanted to do that
you'd stick the motors on the bow of the boat, wouldn't ya :-)
