Todd,
What type of prop does it use? Is it the same as other outboards?
Typically, I get up in the morning, drop the dink in the water then troll around the edges of the area we are for a bit of light fishing. I try hard to stay away from the rocks, but I'm not always that good
Then back to the boat for the AM net and breakfast. Then the rest of the day we use the dink for in to our back to the boat, mostly just once, sometimes twice. Our Guenevere draws 3 Ft 8 in or so, so we are normally close to shore, so the trips are not all that long.
