Got a Suzuki DF6 on my tender and it's great. But my partner has arm injuries and can't start it. I was thinking about going back to good Yammie 3 or 5 two stroke, or new Tohatsu 3.5 four stroke so she could start them. A good second hand two stoke is asking about $1k as demand for them grows, which is a lot for a 10yr old outboard.

I just realised the Tohatsu 3.5 is sub 20kg and my other half should be able to start it.

Anyone here have one, do you like it, had any issues?

I'm about the only sailor I know that doesn't like the Honda 2.3. Had one 5 yrs ago, loud, slow, cheap fittings that corroded.

Anyone have a Toey 3.5?

Picked up a clean Mercury 3.3hp two stroke today. It should do the trick, thanks for the responses.

Yes, 13kg and this one has a F-N. A great benefit over the direct drive ones.
