LOL, clutching at straws now, J? Ok, I'll bite.
I could answer yes to your question if by "appropriate" you actually meant "acceptable".
Now, what's your answer to mine?

I'm giving up! I can't see in this context any difference between those two words. I'm happy to concede

Fantastic JFM a true gentleman of the forum!

Hello Ralf2,
Is it possible to mail the manual from the projet to me?
I will be very thankful.
gr Kees

Yes it's the 83hp yam 2 stroke. The only possible reason for not towing is as follows. The engine cooling works by taking water from a pipe tapped off the jet unit near the nozzle. There is no pump; the pressure in the jet forces the cooling water round the engine. If you tow the boat, you will create pressure in the jet and force some water thru the cooling circuit. The engine will not be running of course, and so it is then possible for it to enter the cylinders via an open exhaust valve. Long shot, but it is possible. The faster you tow, the higher the risk

I had this engine in an Avon jet and I can email a pdf of the manual for that boat and the yam engine if you give me an email addy

JFM; Can I have a copy of that manual too? for the projet 350? I have the Yamaha 80/83 HP 2 stroke and everything was working okay yesterday, then the light flickered and we lost power to the whole thing. I think its the ignition switch but someone has already been in there wiring stuff so I have to figure it out. Its not the fuse in the computer box.

Thanks for the replies so far,but aside from eyebolt`s,weight of the 350 etc..my main question is with regard to possible engine damage to the tender as a result of towing this rib at say 10 knts
So has anyone towed a projet 350 as a tender?

Dear ralf2
How did your rebuilding project work out with the Projet 350? Did the motor survive towing? Do you have any pictures?
