First outing with a new Parsun 2hp outboard mounted on a 15 foot wenonah canoe.

Thanks for posting this! I was on the fence on getting an old 2hp evinrude to push my 17' grumman. This was a perfect video showing a canoe with a side mount outboard

[chodkowski]

That 2hp is perfect for that size boat.

[mattwaters]

Looks like fun. Planning on getting a 2.3 hp next spring. Thx for the great video! 🛶😃

I’m torn between going for this or a 55lb trolling motor & battery. This works better than I thought it would. Thanks for the video.

Very nice video. I just bought a Johnson 2.3 to throw into my inflatable little boat. Will try this weekend. Excellent video. Tx for posting.

Gonna try my 4hp outboard on my 15 1/2 ft canoe with a steel transom I built today :) wish me luck . I got a buddy to sit up front for this test though . Nice video brotha

I built a similar motor mount for my old 17 Grumman and put a garage sale trolling motor on it. I could do a gas engine like this, put prefer the quiet of the electric.

Nice little engine, very fast. I have an electric motor for my canoe but would like a small gas engine like this care, Bluefin.

hey.. not too bad.. ill go for 2hp as beginner.. im about to build a boat..

No need to add weight up front, what you need is a hydrofoil. It's a fin that attaches just above the propeller and it will level you right out.

Nice video!! Will come in handy for this fishing season

[NextHours]

amazing stuff, just watching it now, saw your post on FB and very much looking forward to watching your vids :) phil

[RoodogGonebushTas]

Nice little set up you have there mate!

[carlosaaaaaa]

Boat stores are far and my car doesn't tow, would like to get the sundolphin 14ft ss canoe but instead of a trolling motor it's made for I wanted a small hp motor only seeing 2.5 hp on the market not 2 hp they still make these ? Thinking of the Suzuki 2.5

[johnsumner]

That setup makes the canoe very tricky to steer.

[WolfgangHolzmann]

Please tell me how the Parsun has held up over the years since you posted this. Are they quality motors?

[michaeltoth]

Hey mate how do you stop the spray from the outboard when going fast speed like that from going into the canoe?

[McGoogger]

Gotta do it with two now, one on each side

[thomastoups]

I have an old 16' Mohawk that I power with an equally old Johnson 1.5 HP. It moves my canoe well, but not that fast!
