I just picked up a canoe that came with a 2.2 HP merc. Would this be
powerful enough to use as a troller / kicker for my 17 1/2' fiberglass
sea ray? I was hoping it could serve to get us home if the main motor
ever quits.

==================================
I"ve been using a 4 HP Evinrude as a kicker on my 21 footer for some 12
years. Its OK in slack water and I tried using it to return to the
marina (about 2 miles) just to see if it would do the job. It got me
in, but there was no wind or current. It works fine for trolling, tho,
and I noted a speed of 4 knots according to the Loran.
