It is time to replace the 24 year old Evinrude Sailmaster (4hp). A worthy
engine that still fires up after the first pull or two. But it would be nice to
have a reverse gear and here in CA (and other parts of the world i am sure) you
cannot take 2-stroke motors on some wonderful lakes and Lake Tahoe, in
particular, is calling my name!
So here's the deal. I own an M17 and the current 4hp has been enough power
for me. Should i stay with 4 or move up to 5? And here's the biggie... what
brand? I think it's Nissan that has the internal tank. Do others? Should i
install an outboard motor mount or mount it on the transom cut-out as i have
done with the Sailmaster?
Inquiring minds want to know... and i have to make this purchase before my
wife finds the money and buys something frivolous like food or clothing!
