      You could get both tiller throttles to work together with a small bike sprocket and chain. Just put it ideally on engine side of throttle. Might need a small trim to handle.

    Dude, I love that outboard place on 50. It is like a museum inside of there with all of the restored outboards. I was hoping that the guys grandmother would be in the video. She is so knowledgeable and she does a lot of the restoration since her husband passed. I love that place!

    I had a friend who ran out of premix oil. He ran into the house and came back with a bottle. Wound up using his mom’s cooking oil for the YZ. I don’t think I was ever so ready to get back home that day. The oil he grabbed was the one that his mom used for FRYING CHICKEN!!! The smell of chicken frying from his bike was hilarious. Especially when everyone kept saying is everyone cooking chicken today at every stop. I was starving!!!

    i can attest... if you get the moisture balance right, the underside of a bush out in the yard is a fantastic place to keep an engine. the moisture and dirt seems to keep the rubber from drying out as quickly. its the same reason i never drain fuel out of my engines. you'll never get all the fuel. The tiny amount that remains will harden up, clog everything and your rubber components will dry out and crack.

    Luke, I think you could get a third 25 on the transom! But you may need a bit of reinforcing to keep the transom attached.. reminds me of the time we put an Evenrude 35 on a 14 ft Gregor boat that was rated for 15 hp!.
    Of course you’ll have to rig up some flexi cables so it works with one throttle.
    By the way the wire hose clamp works better if you put two loops around the hose. And better yet if you know someone who works stringing up telephone and cable tv cables. Their lashing wire is stainless! No rust!

When I first put it together bare boat just fuel tank and battery in back with me was scary, coming back into a head wind thought it would come over on me.
