Just to let you know of a possible option, I bought a new Johnson 4 horse a year ago, & it has a switch allowing either internal or external fuel supply, this may be a feature other mfgs. are offering now.
It works good, check if Honda or other mfgs. have this option if it appeals to you.

Subject: M_Boats: Outboards again

Sorry if this is off topic and I know this subject gets totally hashed but I am in the market for a 4 stroke outboard for my M15 and need to know the transom height or how to measure it. My boat is an 89 model with the fixed motor mount.

I know that the Honda 2hp is all I need and is the bomb BUT, Stockdale Marine has a Briggs & Stratton 5hp for less $$ AND it has neutral, forward and reverse AND an external tank so I can cruise the river all day if no wind.

Thanks to anyone who responds. All comments welcome.
