thank you all, I am a bit confused now the 6 hp honda sounded good until Lee said it it sat in the shop. Te 8hp Evinrude is a bruiser, and I never needed full power.

CD25 engine

Carl,
thank you very much for your summary of the 346 postings,
I will go for the 6hp 4 stroke ultra long shaft.
Any suggestions as to when is a safe time to preemptively get rid of the 1984 8 hp Johnson?

CD 25 ENGINE

Is there an engine that would fit the CD 25 (1976) well? I have a 1987 Johnson Evinrude 8 hp, extra long shaft, with generator. it still works as long as it keeps getting fixed but it makes me nervous.
