We sold the 25ft boat but still have the 7 ft inflatable. We live in a
city apartment. The old 2 horse power gas engine works fine but we
cannot keep it in the car or apartment due to its gas fumes. We are
thinking about an electric motor for the dingy. Any suggestions or
ideas as to what we should look for?
as always, thanks for you comments

Most gas fumes from outboards come from left over gas in the carbretor
bowl. You may be able to manage that issue by either turning off the
gas or disconnecting the tank while the engine is still running, and
then letting it continue to run unill all of the residual gas is used
up. It's worth a try. Don't forget to close the tank vent.
