Hey KEV, looks like you've been feeding that motor more than bait It had a baby.
That's a little high thrust 4 stroke johnson 15 tucked down there. The daddy is a 200 HO etec. I stuck the little one on for that extra bit of safety. If I lock the little one in the straight ahead, I can still steer with the main engine's leg (I thought this would be smart for trolling, but I haven't go round to trying it in earnest). That way the autopilot will still work for trolling patterns with the baby running.
Truthfully, I was also planning to get another little tinnie, something about 3.8 metres with a high transom to dump in at long reef (using the new little motor - long shaft). Now I'm thinking of picking up something second hand or something with a cheap 2 stroke on it - couldn't be bothered unbolting and bolting on motors ;-(
Kev.
