2.5 HP outboard wanted

[Retrowagon]

Hi guys hoping you can help ?

I'm looking for a good small HP outboard to use as a spare engine for my 15 ft open cuddy

Where is the best place to buy one?

Has anybody got one for sale ?

And what is the best one to buy ?

Many thanks

Hi Retro

 

I would look for one which uses the same fuel as the main engine i.e. 4-stroke or 2-stroke

 

This will save carrying two sorts of fuel and ppossibly getting them mixed up!

 

You will also need to work out if you need a long or short shaft model and if you intend to mount it on the transom next to the main engine or on a bracket on one side.

 

Worth looking on Gumtree or EBay but you need to know what to look for when buying 2nd hand.

 

Popular motors are Mercury/Mariner, Tohatsu who make most of the small 2-stroke engine but they get badged as differant makes.

 

Someone here may have one for sale of course.
