Re: M_Boats: outboard motors

Tom, I tried an older 3hp Johnson 2 stroke on my M17 years ago that had steering via the head and no transmission. It worked OK out on the water, (as far as an old smelly, noisy, polluting 2 stroke goes) but in the marina it was a pain. There is no neutral so once it is started, you are moving. In a tight docking situation, it presented anxious moments. I an using a 2001 Yamaha 4hp, 4 stroke with F-N-R and think it's the premier engine for an M17. I think Dave Scobie mention they are no longer being made. You may wish to contact Jerry Lee for the one he has up for sale..... Good luck!

outboard motors
by Thomas Buzzi 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Ahoy, I know that opening is a bit corney but I have always wanted to use that word somewhere. Hope the northern fleet of M's have survived the frigid weather. It did get a bit cool in south Texas lately. Oh yes, I am in the process of deciding whether or not to repower my boat. My present ob weighs 59 lbs but it has a F-N-R gearshift and will allow an external gastank. All the 3.5's I have looked at in the 40 # range have 180degree reverse and a tiny internal tank only. I do not relish having to lift my present 59 pound outboard on and off the boat, two shoulder surgeries make me very leary of doing that now. I have had no expereince with swiveling an outboard to reverse the boat motion. It would seem that the prop would tend to chew into either the rudder or the boat hull sooner or later doing that. Any direct experiences with that out there? I have researched Tohatsu, Mercury, Yamaha,Honda and even Evinrude. The weight gain happens right around 3.5 hp which I have decided is enough for my M17. Anybody know of another brand of ob that includes F/R shifting and maybe an external tank? All replies will be considered, Tom B

Hi Everyone, In the spring I purchased a 1993 Montgomery 15 in near mint condition. I enjoyed sailing her all summer on Lake Arthur about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh. I've sailed nearly all my life and have owned several boats (Flying Scot, C Scow, Capri 22, O'Day Daysailer, Compac 16). I'm really very pleased with the M-15. She is all that I hoped for and more. I'm looking forward to following posts on the forum and learning more about my boat. I have two questions: 1. I'd like to raise the boat off the trailer (just a few inches would do) to apply antifouling paint to the portion of the hull that rests on the trailer bunks. I saw a few pictures that involved lifting the entire trailer, then bracing the boat and dropping the trailer. I don't feel comfortable doing that. Does anyone have another idea? I may just go to a marina and rent a lift. 2. I want to swim off the boat, but I'm really reluctant to drill holes in the transom for a permanent swim ladder. Can anyone recommend one of those removable ladders that hook over the rear coaming? Thanks. As I look out my office window at the grey Pittsburgh winter, my thoughts turn to sailing. Best wishes, Kevin Kearns Pittsburgh, PA
