We decided our dinghy was a little under powered with the Yamaha 9.9 when fully loaded and the manual start was hard for me to pull. So we added a new outboard to “the list”. We settled on a Honda 15 HP short shaft with auto start. Unfortunately, none could be found anywhere because of the supply chain issues so we took our chances and ordered it in 2021. We are 3 weeks from departure and yesterday Tom & Jerry’s in Anacortes called and said it had arrived. Whoo hoo! We had given up hope since we had waited so long. We picked it up and wow, what a beast! It is much larger and heavier than the previous outboard. It’s going to make our dinghy fly!
