lookinforwalleye Posted May 25, 2018 Report Posted May 25, 2018 I have a late model Honda 4 stroke 15 HP, I bought this motor a couple of years ago and barely used it. There are some cosmetic issues with the cowling but the engine runs fine. I find it a little difficult to handle as I am not getting any younger and I find it a little hard to pull the rope, ideally what I would like to do is trade it for a smaller short shaft outboard...6 or 8 hp would do fine.
AKRISONER Posted May 25, 2018 Report Posted May 25, 2018 this is an insane offer for someone with a tinner with a small outboard. Wow...
lookinforwalleye Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Posted May 25, 2018 Yes I think so, I am having some health issues lately and I don`t need a heart attack pulling this cord and it is to heavy for me to lift on and off the transom....
Sinker Posted May 27, 2018 Report Posted May 27, 2018 I have a 15 johnson with electric start if that would be better for you. Its an older model, short shaft, tiller, 2 stroke. It would be lighter than that 4 stroke, and easy to start. Just had it tuned up and serviced too. S.
chefboi17 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Posted May 28, 2018 It might be a bit under powered, but I have a short shaft yamaha four stroke 4 hp (2014) I used it a few times when my big motor was giving me issues last year. This is one of the portable ones with the built in tank, and a hookup for a normal fuel tank
lookinforwalleye Posted July 15, 2018 Author Report Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Finally got my trade...Got an older 15 HP Evinrude with electric start that should work fine! Edited July 15, 2018 by lookinforwalleye
mikeh Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 I thought you could convert them to electric start?
lookinforwalleye Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Posted July 17, 2018 apparently not as easy as it sounds and not cheap either....
