Of those using the 2 HP Honda's kicker for M17 how well do they work out as a kicker for a dingy? Are there any mounting modifications necessary to utilize the long shaft feature on a dingy motor mount? What is the average time or distance you can get from a tank full of gas? Are there any significant differences over the years of the various models of 2 HP Honda's? Is the air-cooled Honda 2HP as quiet as the other Honda outboards are know to be? The reason I ask is that I have a 2 HP Johnson air cooled motor that I have used on our Zodiac. If I did not know any better, I would have thought its means of propulsion was noise.
