| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

>>I have heard that the 4 stroke motors cannot be laid on their side like the 2 strokes because of oil leakage. Is that true? Thanks in advance.

>>>>We've had a number of outboards over the years, but after three seasons with out Honda, 2 hp, long shaft, centrifical clutch. We couldn't be more happy! We fuel while on the transon with no problem and if there is wind we sail. Our motor has been back and forth from Maui to Oahu 8 times. The bonus is it's air cooled so there is no impeller to worry about. We really like the 27 lbs..

The Honda 2HP is designed to be stowed on its side, has rubber pads, and fits well under foot well.
