Marina 25hp 2 stroke 2001 - what does it weigh?

[tonye]

Hey guys,

sorry for another pop quizz question and I do google them first lol but does anyone have a rough idea of what this thing weighs?

Its on a zodiac futura airdeck so I'm wondering if i can manhandle the whole package, as I know the zodiac's are not the lightest out there.

Thanks

Is it a 2 stroke yeah, I suppose it must be at that weight.

Are you okay loading it on your boat? I hear the 50KG mark is about the max for a portable outboard

[Dino89]

yes its 2 stroke and yes its probably the max you want to handle on your own its more a combo of the awkard shape and weight
i tend to keep everthything close to the boot when setting up/ stripping down

Thanks mate, I think I'll start the haggling process then

Three things seem to hold true about SIBs

1. Your dream engine will be too heavy to carry with ease

2. You will need a Bravo pump

3. If you don't deal with 1 and 2, you will buy a trailer...


willk's Paradox states that by trying to get the most performance from a SIB, you will ultimately replace it with a RIB.


This is why there are RIBs...
