Yeah, and my old technology 135hp Evinrude will suck a tank dry in a

4 cycle?

Yes! And it's a tiller, so it's easy to take off. There are some
awesome fishing lakes around these parts that gasoline motors aren't
allowed on.



That raises another question. could you be allowed to leave it on and
not use it? Just use electric only?

Or do they want it to be removed so no one is tempted to fire one up?

There is one close to me that doesn't allow gas engines, whether cranked up
or not. It can't be on the boat.

A friend parks his boat under a tree with a stout branch, a block and takes
his 20hp off in about 15 minutes. Cool idea.

Should have said, 'block and tackle'.
