Over the weekend I got to play with one of the Lehr 5hp Propane Outboards. I took it out of the box, put a pint of oil in it, screwed a canister of gas in and two pulls later it was running. One pull starts the rest of the day. They should have a 9.5 out by the end of the year.
I'm going to get one of the 2.5HP motors for my canoe and Avon.

I should tell you that I have a financial interest in these motors as I am now a stocking dealer.

That said I'll now tell you the bad things.

The owners manual wasn't in the box but I was able to down load it off Lehr's website. The motor did come with a set of tools and a spare spark plug.

The cover latches were a little fiddly to get back on. The cover has to be aligned just right.

The steering tension screw was a little stiff.
