Can't beat a 2 horse long shaft Honda for an M17. Weighs less than 30 lb. Had mine for 7 years and never needed anything more. Rick M17 #633 Lynne L On Wednesday, October 8, 2014, Dave Scobie <scoobscobie@gmail.com> wrote:
6HP is more than is needed. the weight is the real problem of a 4-cycle outboard of the 6HP type
my 4HP suzuki is just a 'de-tuned' 6HP outboard. weights about 65 or so lbs. no fun to carry or lift onto the outboard bracket. also a lot of weight hanging aft of the transom.
so i say use that old Johnson! it is lighter than my 4HP!
