[Rhodes22-list] Outboard motor setup

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

I've been following the thread on the propane motor and I see a problem  
here. A propane tank in the lazzerette with an electric motor. NOT  A GOOD  
IDEA. Propane tanks when hot will vent gas to relieve pressure. LP gas in the  
lazzerette with an electric motor spells trouble. Can you say KaBOOM.

i have  the 5hp LEHR and the GB-installed linkage. 5hp seems enough for me
and the  linkage works pretty well. i opted for the big cylinder of propane
in the  lazerette, but that may have been unnecessary.

with stan's outboard  lift, the whole thing works easily. on/y problem is
the shifter on the  cowling is kind of flimsy-maybe they've upgraded it
since.
