    Kicker motor vs towing

    just been doing this as I have a Honda main engine ,and a 6hp Zuki aux , both 4 stroke . I have it set up so either motor can run off either tank ( both are totes with the same tank end fitting ) via their own supply hose . Now that I have this Tohatsu 2 stroke , which is never intended...

    Kicker motor vs towing

    Yeah ideally a pair of motors makes good sense ,specially if your going a good distance. I am often surprised ( well not any more ) at what peeps consider to be a useful sized emergency motor , like a 20 foot plus boat with a 3hp kicker sort of thing. Some peeps seem to think its token...

    Kicker motor vs towing

    Have you ever had to fit the kicker in rough conditions ? I dont even like the idea of trying to refuel a small motor let alone trying to attach it to a transom on the high seas .

    daily music fix

    Liqui Moly ceratec engine oil additive any good?

    Yeah every now and then you hear of something that might actually improve things ( as opposed to just making a difference ). My Dad swears that his car went better after a shot of injector cleaner :LOL::LOL: funny as #uck me and my younger bro .....we tipped this snake oil into his engine ...

    Liqui Moly ceratec engine oil additive any good?

    Really , if all it took was a wee ( cost effective ) dram of sommat to make oil soooooo much better manufacturers would be already putting it in their oil and shouting about the benefits. I might put a bit of zinc into my oil but the stuff I buy already has it. I did once use Morleys oil...

    Making a 16' Aluminum fish boat TOO LIGHT.

    Gotta take care of your nuts too . To much bouncing around , particularly in boxers is not good . Standing at the helm , feet 18"apart , every time the boat bottoms out gravity gives them a wee tug . An hour or so of that is plenty .

    Older 4-stroke or newer 2-stroke?

    The Yam will get the best hole shot but the Honda will use half the fuel ......and weigh significantly more. I wouldnt be keen on a hpdi 2 stroke but if its got carbs maybe..........nyaa🤔... Id go for the Honda 😁
