That's what I figured, and that's why I suggested what I did. Sure, a 3 HP would work on a calm day, but when you have a problem its never calm......LOL.Actually I should have stated my primary use will be to limp back home if my main engine fails. The boat will be used in salt water, but I don't plan on going out in rough seas.
Scott, I agree with you, I was only asking because I have to get the motor running, buy a mounting bracket and mount it (closed transom), and figure out how I am going to get fuel to it. I just wanted to know if it was worth it before I went through all of that work.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
I had brackets in the 1960's and ended up taking them all off. Hard to engage and bounced all over on the highway.OK, I have to buy a bracket either way because I have a closed transom (Seadrive). Any suggestions for a bracket that won't break the bank? I am trailering about 40 miles each way.
