winter project

The owner of the 5 van caravan site we have stayed on this week also had a small boat repair and sales business.
Just by way of conversation I asked him if he had a 2hp 2-stroke outboard.
By chance he had two, one very dubious one and this one that he was selling on behalf of the disbanded Sea Scouts. It runs, has loads of compression and starts easily but the water flow through the tell tale is a bit low.
During the off season I shall flush out the waterways and remove any scale.
We shook hands on a deal and it came home in the car, weighs about 15 pounds I'd guess rather than the 15kg that a modern 4 stroke weighs.
