For the ten years I had my Coyote, I also had a 3.5 Nissan long shaft, 2-stroke outboard with an internal tank. To fill the lightweight outboard, I used a red plastic gas can and a long gas line with a squeeze bulb. Standard equipment in boating stores everywhere. In rough conditions it kept me from hanging out to refill the outboard. Just pop the engine cap, squeeze until transfer is complete. I also found that the sports goods stores have spun aluminum camp fuel?jugs (for backpacking) that hold the same quantity of fuel mix as one tank of gas. For calm weather refueling, these are perfect.

I'm going to check on the Moeller Flo-n-Go fuel pump (it appears to be a small, manual gas pump that fits into your jerry can and is attached to a 4 foot gas station like hose and fill handle. I have not yet thoroughly researched the item, so I don't know how small a jerry can you can use, but the prospect of simply inserting a lightweight fill handle into my Honda 2 hp rather than holding the jerry can out and over the engine sounds intriguing. The new type of jerry can fill nozzle is difficult to use and can easily create spillage. If anyone has knowledge of or experience with this type of device, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.

The reason I was considering it was that it has reverse and an external fuel tank. I do not like having to hang over the boat to refuel in the middle of a chop also reverse wpuld be a nice thing to have again... Thanks again to all...
