And just in case anyone is looking for 2hp Honda, when I was at Atlantic Marine Service near Yorktown VA shopping for some spare parts, they had a new 2hp in showroom and the fellow said he had several 'in the box'. Also that they would offer 'special price', presumably to clear them out. No affiliation and I don't know enough to say whether older 2 is desirable compared to 2.3!

The 15 was designed for a short shaft,. but some complain that it cavitates when people go fwd, and prefer the long shaft because of that. Not me!

i've had the same experience, using the cheapie 30 lb thrust on my monty 15
i figure it weighs 10 to 15 lbs, and the battery's about 20 pounds; plus a 15 watt solar panel
lately i've been thinking of going instead with a suzuki 2.5; it weighs 29 pounds - total weight including gas may just be less than the trolling motor setup
am just not sure which size shaft to go with - the 15" "short", or the 20" "long"
any suggestions or experience with either? i did read the article on this in the MSOG website - i'd rather go with the "short", but am just concerned i won't be able to get the prop down low enough so as to actually be well within the water
thanks

I know this has been talked about before, but I just got an elect trolling motor; a cheapie with 30 lbs thrust, and used it on my Sage 17 at the Monterey race (NOT during the race!) last weekend. It did the job surprisingly well, and probably pushed the boat at 2 or 1.5 knots in no wind. I used it to get out of the marina and towards the starting line and it was perfect for that. Probably ran it about a half hour total and the when I returned I hooked it up to the charger and it was at 90%. Perfect.

Put one and a solar panel on the flush deck. Works well, I agree! Had no luck finding a 4 stroke that would fit in the outboard well and not have the prop hit the rudder when not even close to hard-over...

You're right about the weight of the battery (mine's a lot heavier than that), but the weight can go forward and low in the boat rather than hi and over the transom. Any weight up hi is anti ballast; down low it becomes ballast.

If really want a light motor, none of the newer ones compare well to any of the old 2-stroke 2hp motors that can be found cheap nowadays. I really like my 19lb Yamaha 2hp, but used to have a Cruise'N'Carry that only weighed 12 lbs, but was much lower quality and louder than the Yamaha.

Reminds me of the British Seagull that I used for years in the 60s to power my 24 ft Rainbow sloop ?. Sold it with the boat and it may still be running somewhere.

Anyone have an example for a mount for a gas _and_ a trolling motor side-by-side? Like an adapter to those spring-up mounts to make the mount top into a "T" ?

Yeah, Steve, I sure would hang on tight to that ole 2 hp two stroke. They are very hard to find now a days. Bought a 3.5 Tohatsu for my 17 and it weighs 40 pounds but it runs fine.

i've had the same experience, using the cheapie 30 lb thrust on my monty 15
i figure it weighs 10 to 15 lbs, and the battery's about 20 pounds; plus a 15 watt solar panel
lately i've been thinking of going instead with a suzuki 2.5; it weighs 29 pounds - total weight including gas may just be less than the trolling motor setup
am just not sure which size shaft to go with - the 15" "short", or the 20" "long"
any suggestions or experience with either? i did read the article on this in the MSOG website - i'd rather go with the "short", but am just concerned i won't be able to get the prop down low enough so as to actually be well within the water
thanks

I remember those Seagulls. Always seemed like they forgot half the engine when they put them together.

Good to read that I am not the only guy hanging on to my old 2 stroke outboard for my M-15. Ain't the latest technology, but it, like the boat, have long been paid for. Steve M-15 # 335

My M-17FD (Coyote) came to me from Jerry, through a legendary list of Arizona Sailors -with a Seagull lightweight. Those of you have not experienced this legendary opportunity need to simulate to understand:
Imagine a very early gas lawn mower, with non-recoil starter rope. Place this in a small outhouse on a warm day and after mixing gas/oil and pouring half of it on your arm and hand, pull and rewind the starter rope 75 times. When it starts, inhale the gas/oil mixture until you can no longer see the outboard through the blue haze. Oh, for full effect, do this with your head below your knees...
Google British Seagull Outboard for more information. There is an 8 minute video of an older British gentleman demonstrating his Seagull in a trash can. Wonderful. Missing footage of his discussion with his wife after the demo would be classic as well. Directly behind (down wind) from his demo is a full clothes line, receiving a full dose of the smoke from the gas/oil mixture.
John in Tucson

Suzuki's own website doesn't show a 20" shaft for their 2.5 hp, only 15".
Oddly, onlineoutboards.com now does show a 20" shaft option for the Suzuki 2.5 hp (didn't last time I looked some moths ago).
But their Honda 2.3 page still also says Honda has the only 20" shaft model in that power range.
If Suzuki now does have a 20" shaft 2.5 hp, it's a much cheaper price than the Honda, and similar weight. But water cooled, so more maintenance than the air-cooled Honda.
cheers, John S.

I know this has been talked about before, but I just got an elect trolling motor; a cheapie with 30 lbs thrust, and used it on my Sage 17 at the Monterey race (NOT during the race!) last weekend. It did the job surprisingly well, and probably pushed the boat at 2 or 1.5 knots in no wind. I used it to get out of the marina and towards the starting line and it was perfect for that. Probably ran it about a half hour total and the when I returned I hooked it up to the charger and it was at 90%. Perfect.

Correct that to 2 to 2.5 knots!

Put one and a solar panel on the flush deck. Works well, I agree! Had no luck finding a 4 stroke that would fit in the outboard well and not have the prop hit the rudder when not even close to hard-over...
