Yea - this thing was always in the way. Mostly when berthing, the lines fiddled around the prop.
And all time I wanted to use it, it did not work, Inside the ship it's more secure, and away from the elements.
OK - I think noone would have stolen it. It's a 2 Cylinder Evinrude, build approx 1984. But it was for free and I spend around 50€ to get it running again.
PS: I like your nickname "ultrabiker", mine "kuttmoped" comes from my last name and moped, which is in german a small motorbike. I'm a big fan of the east german motor bikes "MZ" and run a forum about them since over 10 years now https://mz-forum.com
The sweet thing with those older engines is that they are reasonably light-weight and small. Probably a more modern 4-cylinder engine weights twice as much?
Na - not twice as much. I would say that a 4T engine is around 30..40% heavier than a 2T
Hi @Kuttmoped, actually the 'biker' in 'ultrabiker' refers to a bike without an engine... mainly a Mountain Bike. I used to have a Ducati Monster though, so I do have a little connection with motorbikes.
