Our Seagull will have to be retired!! It still works but now in my 80s I find the cord starting when in the dinghy difficult and the lack of gears a bit of an issue! I have to hold the engine body with one hand while pulling with the other, my hand seems very close to the flywheel, I worry about taking a passengers eye out with the cord...... I need something 'modern'!!
Suggestions please!! I have considered electric but Torqueudos seem expensive and trolling motors lack power. Force 4 advertise a 2.5 Mariner at £720 which sounds ok? I recognise that a 4 stroke is going to be much heavier than 2 but that I cant buy a new 2stroke here or in Spain.
We will possible drive out to Spain on our next visit so shipping may not be an issue.
Over to you guys!!
