Hi

Other members are kindly helping me to get a 6HP 1970 Evinrude 6003B Fisherman working but I need to order some new parts!

While I'm waiting for them I also have access to a Yamaha Malta which I think is only 3HP, my question is would this be powerful enough to push a 14ft DeJon up and down the River Thames around the Henley on Thames and Maidenhead area?

I was forced to use my Malta to push my heavy 20ft Shetland Speedwell across from Bradwell to West Mersea. It did it but was it a struggle. Now I'm putting a 1970 6hp Evinrude Fisherman which I bought cheaply on ebay on the back for emergencies.
