Craig, Yes, The Honda 4 cycle 2 hp vibrates far slower and less than my old 2 cycle 2 hp evinrude. The 4 cycle has less rpm so the vibration is slower and the sound is deeper and less. It is a pleasure to use compared the my old noisy eggbeater. Doug Kelch "Seas The Day" --- Honshells <chonshell@ia4u.net> wrote:
Thanks, Harvey. I thought of the barrel approach and may use it: I was just afraid I'd have to do it for 10 hours! No one suggested ways to try to dampen outboard vibration: Does that mean no one suffers enough vibration to bother? Thanks, Craig

Hmmm..you could run the motor in a water barrel for a few hours before installing on your boat.
I run my Seagulls that way every spring tuneup.
After 3-4 hours of barrel running time, put it on your transom and motor around at varying speeds for a few more hours, and you should be OK.
