Advantages: Very light weight, 360 degree rotation, easy to start

Disadvantages: Only forward gear, small fuel tank, plastic propeller

Clean and easy to use and start. The engine has markers to set your throttle before you pull the cord help you start this engine consistently. Two cylinder 80cc engine has only a forward gear (no reverse) but does turn over a full 360 degrees so you can simulate a reverse by rotating the engine 180 degrees to manoeuvre easily onto moorings. Very light weight engines they are deal for a tender the engine tend to be short shaft and have plastic propellers witch makes them light and easily to handle and stow. Ideal for an inflatable tender and would probably the maximum horse power you would want to put on an inflatable tender. These engine contain there own main and reserve fuel tanks, which is quite small so take a funnel if you are going to refuel.

A well maintain one will last you some significant time.

Excellent Tender Engine.

Summary: Excellent Tender Engine.
