May 2, 2015 - New Boat Motor

Main Sailing Page     Modifications     Previous Page     Next Page    

This is my third motor. The first one (Nisan) was messed up by a mechanic and I never trusted it since then. The water flow was just not right and the motor overheated. The second motor (Honda), developed a hole in the exhaust manifold. I was really bummed because I thought I had bought a premium motor and it should not have had a problem like that after only five years. This motor also has a alternator that is always wired to the battery. Seems to have good output and with the LEDs I don't expect to have any power issues on a trip.

Motor has a tackometer which when the motor is not running shows the number of hours the motor has been running. Very nice for keeping track of maintenance.
