Happy with our Lehr 5hp Propane Outboard Motor

I'm not sure if we mentioned this item somewhere along the way, but now that we've been able to use it a few times, I thought I'd write a little about it.

The Lehr 5hp Propane Powered Outboard Motor. It's clean and green! It can use both 1 lb. and larger propane tanks. It doesn't require any winterizing (of the motor, we still change the oil and lower unit gear lube). It produces less exhaust, requires no oil like a two stroke, and is lighter weight than it's gasoline powered 4 stroke standard (52 lbs. vs. 75 lbs. and up!).

Even when we first got the motor and discovered that one of the latches was broken, the company responded quickly with an upgraded latch system and instructions on how to install. So we never had to involve a repair shop, or worse, have to ship it back to them! It was an easy fix!
