I finally had a chance to give the home made
outboard a short test,considering the small motor it works
well it pushes my 32 footer at about 2 knots.running
on 12 volts and > 60 amps(meter pegs at 60 amps)
the motor is 2 speed and made by Siva Engineering of
England and is out of a self propelled cylinder Webb
mower (anyone have any ideas on hp?)the leg is an old
Mariner 2 hp. with a home made 3 blade 8" prop. It will
come in handy when drifting for flat head ,instead of
starting the diesel to move out from shore 500 meters or
so when you drift in.<br>As a bonus it cost nothing
to build as I had all the bits laying around
home.but now I have to buy a deep cycle battery,ahh
well.<br><br>Gary
