Motor for TY

Post by Bill Lawson »

Using the factory motor mount, how long should the motor shaft be measuring from the top of the mount to the center of the blade? Is three horse enough for a kicker? Thanks and Happy Holiday...Bill

Bill, I've got a 3.5 HP Nissan with a 20" shaft mounted on the
standard bronze mount on my Typhoon and it works great. Good luck.

We are pleased with the Honda 2hp long shaft we purchased for our TY. It has an amazing amount of power, is a four stroke and weighs 28 lbs.
