Don't try to re-invent the wheel. Pick up a used O/B. In that HP range about
$300. Same as your inboard but has cooling transmission thrust bearings prop
shaft reverse neutral a cover a tiller or steering hook-up alternator
(may-be) electric start (may-be) mounting hardware. need I say more!

Hi folks. Has anyone ever put an small 4stroke engine eg Honda 6-10 hp
horizontal shaft in an 14-16ft. fishing boat eg .Lund.? I have heard this
may be possible , but was curious as to the method involved. I checked
prices of 4stroke outboards an they are extremely high and maybe there was
an cheaper alternative.
