Small outboard recomendations
Hi all
I'm looking for a small (5 or 6 hp) 4 stroke to power a 3 metre inflatable. Anyone have any recomendations, warnings or observations, reliability is absolute. The boat will be carrying two adults and maybe 50 lbs of equipement. What sort of performance can I expect with such a motor, not that I'm looking for a speed machine but it would be nice to know. How long will a 12ltr tank last at say half throttle. Ive heard that you have to be ultra careful handling 4 strokes (only lay them on one side etc or the sump will drain), is this a concern or are they getting better. All advice gladly received. Regards Ian |
