Minstrel weel + aircooled outboard = toasty toes

Minstrel well + aircooled outboard = toasty toes

outboard well

on the boat at Brough

on the humber the other side of the meridian

Humber is a wonderful river

been up to Goole and also up the Trent

lovely quiet anchorage up a narrow channel behind whitton island

Tohatsu is good but thirsty

so been using the little honda 2.3 short shaft

works very well

even noisier than the tohatsu

but being air cooled the honda heats the cockpit

My feet were warm

it will be wonderful in winter

all you now want is "Pie n peas"

Or Shin Cup soup.

So what sort of consumption are you getting? I get about 22Nm/gallon from my 10hp Yamahaha outboard on a 30' bote in flat calm conditions at 5.5 knots.

Does it make toast?

Does it make toast?

Hot cross bum, when you're careless

Thirsty? I have a 10hp Honda Outboard on my Snapdragon and it's not exactly a 'drinker'.

If it's a new engine, maybe it's a bit 'tight'.

I knew a boat with a rather unwisely fitted Lombardini air cooled dumper truck engine; the cockpit sole got too hot to stand on !

Unless you get to those extremes Dylan, you probably don't have anything much to worry about...
