Of those using the 2 HP Honda's kicker for M17 how well do they work out as a kicker for a dingy?

I use the 2HP Honda on an Avon Redcrest deflatable, and it works well, if rather noisily. Just put it on the mount and try to avoid dropping it overboard (only happened once so far -- but I was feeling paranoid and had attached a line to it).. Giles Morris
