I agree with Connie. I hung my brand new Honda 2hp on Poco's motor
mount and, on a windless day, cruised up the lake for 10 miles at about half
throttle. No problems then or since. My advice: put gas and oil in your
Honda and use it... sensibly, of course.
Up here in the Sierra Nevadas we've had an unusually mild winter, so
I've been fishing a lot lately... mostly trolling in our aluminum fishing
boat. I've caught my limit of rainbow trout every time I've gone out during
the last month (all of them 12-16 inches). By mid-day I'm usually down to
my shirtsleeves and remembering what January and February were like in West
Virginia. That's when I say to my self, "Self, you certainly did the right
thing when you moved west 35 years ago." We do get an occasional
picturesque snow storm, but our 4x4 SUV plows right through it.
To all you snow and ice bound Montgomery friends back east, our deepest
sympathy.

> Since you are only using it to move your M15, and half throttle is about
full hull speed for the M15, you are well below recommended break-in RPMs
for the engine.

play....
