    Default Lehr Propane Outboard Engines

    And when you run out of 1 lb. bottles, you can take your gas grill tank and run the motor a long time with an optional hose.

    Better yet, run it on the big gas bottles and keep a couple of 1 lb. bottles for a reserve.

    I saw your engines on Ship Shape TV, and they look to be very high quality motors in every way.

    Default Re: Lehr Propane Outboard Engines

    Looks like a possible alternative motor to my 3HP Tanaka that I use on my canoe, although the Lehr, at 37 lbs. is 10 lbs heavier than my Tanaka. A grill-sized propane tank would run that motor for hours without the gas/oil hassle. Honda makes a 2HP, 4 stroke, air cooled, centrifugal clutch motor at about 27lbs...Honda still might be hard to beat,overall....
