So my 192 came with an air cooled 4cycle 5hp outboard but I’m not too psyched about it. Since it’s air cooled there’s no cowling so the engine it totally exposed and fairly low to the water. It was previously used in fresh water lake but I’ll be in a choppy salt water bay. Plus, the new version says not for salt water use so I’m assuming this one isn’t either. So, I don’t think this is going to last too long for me.
What outboards are you guys using? I’m leaning towards the Tohatsu 5HP SailPro Propane version with the long shaft or a Torqeedo Travel 1103 Long shaft (I may have a chance to try the Torqeedo out on the boat before buying one). Anyone have any experience with either? Any other recommendations?
It gets breezy here everyday and there can be a decent current with a short steep chop. I may need to motor 3 miles at most sometimes depending on conditions.
