lol ... have three Honda 2HPs in the shop, not strapped to an M15 ;-) my experience was that 1/2 throttle moved the boat at 4 knots in calm seas. go to 2/3rd and you are at hull speed. my practice was to adjust throttle to get about 4 to 4.25 knots over water. this resulted just over an hour range before needing to re-fill the fuel tank. :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred --- On Mon, 4/15/13, David Gilroy <dbakergilroy@sbcglobal.net> wrote:
Dear Dave,
Thanks very much! I have faith that you will forgive my asking how fast your boat is with three of them pushing it? Seriously, how well does one at a time push an M-15?

a 2010 Honda 2HP will have the centrifugal clutch. great motor ... i have three!
if, after starting, and you turn the motor to idle the prop still spins the idle is set to high.

Hi Connie,
It's a 2010! Don't know if prop stops at
idle.

Hi David,
I saw the ad; thought it might be of interest
to
someone in the M-Group; and am glad to hear that you were able to get it.
They are great little engines, and I hope the
one you bought is the latest; with the prop stopped at idle RPMs.
Ciao and Happy sailing,
Connie
Dear Connie,
Thank you very much. I shot down
there just as fast as my little Toyota would take me, and am now once again the proud owner of a Honda 2. I had one a while ago and always regretted selling it.
So, thanks very much for the heads up.

Hi Gang,
This morning in the Sunday edition of
the HARTFORD COURANT newspaper I saw an ad that I felt might be of interest to someone in the M-group.
It read:
"HONDA O/B 2 hp run 2X new $499.99 860-550-3682"
This is a Hartford, CT number.
