Outboard recommendations….

[Sailaway1234]

Hi all,
I’ve got a 2.7 meter seago spirit for tendering to shore, what would you recommend hp wise.. I was thinking 3.5 mariner.. I’m in Portsmouth and require one today..
thanks in advance

I see 6hp is the max for your dingy. A 3.5 Will have enough power to easily move you fully laden but light enough to carry.
2 or 4 stroke?

2nd hand 3 - 4hp 2str will be more than enough ... light to lift on / off.

My Redcrest is powered by a 3hp Johnson ..... the 5hp Johnson that came with it was too much and tended to be a wet ride ..

yes that will be ok, that's what I use. the advantage of the 3.5 over the 2.5 is the ability to kick it out of gear!

If you can find the Tohatsu variant, it is better ergonomically, with a handle on each end to aid lifting and carrying.

Sounds like a trip to see Lee at Fairweather Marine. No connection other than knowing him for 30 years.

That’s just where I ended up, what a lovely bloke, great selection of new and used outboards. No pushy sales tactics just straightforward old fashioned service and advice with a smile to.. bought new mariner 3.5 not much price difference to 2nd hand.. hand it all out the box oiled up and ready to go in 1/2 hour.. will definitely use again for future purchases..
