Trolling with large 2 stroke outboard

[wakina]

Knowing what I know today! I would figure out how to install a (4 stroke)kicker and be done with it. So much easier and you could even pipe it in to the main fuel tank if your Outboards are oil injected. Since you have 2 large engines you could most likely get by with a 5 hp 4 stroke since you only need it for trolling and not used for a backup.

Just so you know if you decide to go with the kicker that all of the small 4 strokes are made by 4 companies. Tohatsu make their own brand as well as the smaller Evinrudes, Mercuries and Nissans, on most of these the parts are interchangeable in the same hp range. Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki make their own company named motors. I put a kicker on my boat 5 years ago and have never looked back, wish I had done it years years before that.
