FourStrokes 2.5 - 3.5 HP | Mercury Marine

Mercury Marine has two small outboard motors. Lightweight at 38 pounds, the 2.5 hp Mercury Motors should work well on a small boat used for freshwater fishing. Reverse Thrust is very easy, and reduced tiller vibration makes for smooth operation. The following link takes you to the Mercury Marine website, and to the page with the specifications for these motors.

I am going to do a preliminary check on how the 2.5 hp motor should perform on my 10 ft boat. A 2.5 hp outboard seems like a better solution to an electric battery operated motor, especially in larger lakes where you would likely run out of battery power on your trip back.
