Steve:
I run a Honda 2HP on my M15. It gets noisy above 3/4 throttle or so. At
that speed it will run about 2 hours on a Liter, which is what its tank
holds. Going 4 knots in the M15 with no current or headwind, I figure I
can get about 28 nautical miles per gallon. When we did the San Juan
cruise in June 2005, we went about 200 NM and I burned a total of 3
gallons of gasoline--obviously we didn't motor the whole way!

Of those using the 2 HP Honda's kicker for M17 how well do they work
out as
a kicker for a dingy? Are there any mounting modifications necessary
to
utilize the long shaft feature on a dingy motor mount? What is the
average
time or distance you can get from a tank full of gas? Are there any
significant differences over the years of the various models of 2 HP
Honda's?
Is the air-cooled Honda 2HP as quiet as the other Honda outboards are
know
to be? The reason I ask is that I have a 2 HP Johnson air cooled
motor
that I have used on our Zodiac. If I did not know any better, I would
have
thought its means of propulsion was noise.
