suzuki 8hp oil injection
Are these any good? there is one for sale locally and I am looking for a suitable aux.

Are they lightweight like the Yamaha and Tohatsu?

They are good, but heavy (36ish kg). Same basic engine as the 9.9hp and good to use as an auxiliary, as being oil injected, they'll run off the main tank.
