RE: Propane Fueled Outboards
I don't have a propane stove on my boat so I haven't paid attention, do many marinas sell propane? I agree with the draw backs both of you mentioned. To me there are a few advantages. Propane is a lot cleaner to handle than gasoline and produces cleaner exhaust. In my case the small outboard may sit unused for months at a time and I wouldn't have to worry about the carb getting gummed up. I converted my gasoline emergency generator to propane for that reason. It can sit a year or more and fires right up.
