Hi Pete, Your 4 HP outboard is vast overkill for an M15. Everyone with an M15 seems to agree that the HONDA 2 HP outboard is the best and the most optimal size. Connie On 6/11/2022 8:51 AM, Peter Zimowsky via montgomery_boats wrote:
Hi: Been reading a lot about motors, etc, horsepower and stuff. When I bought my boat it came with a 4 horsepower. I’m concerned about the strength of the M15’s transom and motor mount handling 75 pounds. I’ve been sailing with it for 6 years but boats get older and things weaken. Can the M15 handle 75 pounds. Thanks Pete WinterSky (Zimowsky)
