I've been looking at the West Marine PROPANE powered outboards for my new dinghy. I need to power a small dinghy for up to 4 people and I want to keep the engine weight to a minimum.
I've been looking at the LEHR 2.5hp Propane Powered Outboard Engine, Short Shaft engine. Reviews are mixed.
I worry that it sounds like it is difficult to flush after use in salt water and there are mixed reviews on the dependability of the engine. For sure it's less expensive to run, light weight and environmentally friendly. But I'm not convinced.
Any thoughts from those of you have used propane engines or have researched them?
Thanks in advance.
