Outboard Motors: Water vs Air-Cooled?
I'm about to shop for a 1.5 or 2 hp outboard.
It's strictly for occasional use on an outrigger canoe when/if I have to get through a strong tide situation or something goes amiss and I need to get home the easy way. I've never used or even seen an air-cooled outboard, but I see them for sale. They look tb significantly lighter and, I'd guess, more bulletproof than water-cooled. But I'd also guess that air-cooled is noisier than water-cooled: the question being how much noisier. Can anybody comment? Even though it would only be for occasional use, I wouldn't want a chain saw or a weed wacker back there.... -- PeteCresswell |

I think I've answered my own question and I'm looking for a used Suzuki 2 or 2.5 hp air-cooled two-stroke. Noisier, but not too noisy.... -- PeteCresswell |
