gary (and others):   i've not seen a yamaha on an M15   looking at the specs (+/-):   + the extra .5 horse of power is nice - the short-shaft only (15") isn't - no external fuel tank option     dave scobie M15 #288 - SCRED visit Scred's www-site: http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred --- On Sat, 8/9/08, Gary M Hyde <gmhyde1@mac.com> wrote: Dave: Do U know of anyone trying the Yamaha 2.5 hp on an M15?

the Honda 2H long shaft is a great motor for the M15. my opinon is a 3hp motor would be a perfect fit. anything greater is more motor than necessary.

the limit of all 'small' motors is none have a fuel pump so one must fill the tank while hanging over the back of the boat once an hour ... IF ONLY a building would make a 2-3hp motor with a fuel pump!!!
