I have a Yamaha 4hp 4-stroke LS on my M17 and it works great. The external tank is important for any but short hops. I use a permanently-mounted 11-watt solar panel to charge my battery. Earlier experience with an outboard with a charging coil convinced me it didn't run enough to keep the battery up. The solar panel is always working in daylight so the battery is always charged. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 #637 sailboat 'Hydeaway 2' On Mar 18, 2010, at 2:24 PM, bownez@juno.com wrote:
HI Listers,
My Yamaha 4hp 4 stroke LS that I use on my M17 has been flawless. It is a 2000 model (purchased new) and I use it with an external tank. The only feature it is missing is a charging coil.
