we are out of the Chesapeake beach area MD. Port engine went out the other day, looking for someone that can make house calls and fix. If not, is it a good idea to travel 1/2 hour on the water with 1 engine to take to someplace I know. 225 Yamaha 4 stroke. Thx.

I am docked in Deale and had a motor quit in Annapolis. It took awhile but made it back on one engine. Tristate does all my work.

I don't think you will have any trouble at all. Just don't try to run wide open, take your time.

I have spoken to Ed Miller on several occasions and find him VERY well informed and most of all I like his attitude of "Don't do cheap -- Do it RIGHT". That's not to say he isn't reasonable -- He just knows his reputation follows him and won't do stuff half-a$$ed!

you should be able to make 8 knots on one without pushing the rpms too hard... sit back and "weewax" take your time and enjoy the ride !

i drove my sea ray with one of its inboards down and the screw that was not turning was like a giant drift sock. my buddies and i joked that it was nascar boating since it pulled so hard to the left, we found it easier to make 3 left turns rather than a single right. i cant imagine an outboard having that kind of drag, but just be aware of it, was a true bear in my case to get into the slip.
