Applications & Usage Tips
This model is ideal for small watercraft where portability, reliability, and low maintenance are critical. Use it in fishing skiffs, small aluminum boats, inflatables, or as a backup engine. Because it’s a four-stroke, regular oil and filter changes every 100 hours (or annually) help maintain longevity.
