Friends, This 1993 Rhodes22 is sitting rigged on the trailer at Havre de Grace.... getting lonely because we aren't in shape to sail it anymore! So, I have dropped the price to $4500 and am willing to deliver it to you anywhere east of the Mississippi..... well maybe east of the Appalachians? Talk to me. Check it out in the attachment below.

Yes, not kidding.l I could find a specific use as it is the cruising layout. Let me know. Might have to factor in the cost of the divorce lawyer.  Grin.

I presently have a 9.9 HP motor that is in need of replacement, and was considering the 8 hp Yamaha.  Has anyone gone to 8, and if so is that enough hp against wind and also in assisting in getting off when running aground?
Thanks

I have an 8 hp electric start Mercury that works great with my Rhodes-it
has plenty of power.

One feature that is particularly useful on the Merc is the throttle is used
to shift: twist counterclockwise for forward, clockwise for reverse and
neutral is in between.

The paddle shifter found on many outboards would be very awkward to use on
a Rhodes. I would check the Yamaha for that detail.

I have had 3 Rhodes 22s since 2003. My 1st was a lake boat with a 4 hp 2
stroke Mariner. I encountered a squall with 4 ft seas & 35 mph winds & the
4hp was quite adequate. I have also had a 5 hp 4 stroke Briggs & Stratton,
a 2 stroke 9.9 hp Yamaha & currently a 4 stroke 9.9 hp Yamaha. The 8 hp is
absolutely fine. I borrowed one when mine needed service & it was fine.

Stay Well,

I also have an 8 hp  electric start Mercury, and find it very adequate.  I agree with Michael McKay about the importance of being able to shift between forward and reverse using the throttle.

I had a 9.9 Mercury long shaft that definitely seemed like overkill.
Fighting a 35 knot headwind in heavy Chesapeake chop I could only go 3.5
knots and the propeller rose out of the water between each wave.

Replaced it with a 6 Tohatsu that drove the boat over 5 knots in relatively
calm water at 3/4 throttle. Advantage was that I could remove the 59 pound
motor (barely) by myself.

8 hp long shaft seems most popular.

Thomas,
Just a head?s up from my 35 years on an R22 on Barnegat Bay. My 2nd Rhodes came with an 8hp Mercury. I had some experience with squalls coming out of nowhere on a beautiful sunny day. I was anywheres from 3-5 miles from my marina and couldn?t outrun the blow, nor dig in to the chop. I learned to drop the sails, and low motor into the storm. So while the 8 was adequate, I tried a friend?s boat with a 9.9 Yamaha and felt the difference both in power and an extra long shaft.
I worked with Elton to switch it and haven?t regretted it since. We go out occasionally in the ocean and really need the 9.9, but our predictably high winds create 3+ foot rollers the same in the bay. I was only able to attain hull speed at 6.2 kts. in relatively flat conditions. Or if I?ve lost track of time on a great sail and have to beeline home?.
Anyhow, that?s my 2 cents.

Hi Tom,

I?ve used a Honda 8 hp extra long shaft outboard since 1994.  As long as you can keep the prop in the water, 8 hp has always been enough.  The trouble is, if you have run aground, what are the waves doing?  Are breaking waves going to uncover your prop, causing it to cavitate?  I can?t speak to being able to pull off after running aground, as I haven?t done that.  I would think the difference in reverse thrust between 8 hp and 9 hp would be minimal.  You will be able to generate more pulling power by using an anchor and one of your primary winches to ?kedge? off.  If you are well and truly stuck, it?s going to take a big power boat to pull you off.  Look at the engines on the commercial tow boats.  Often, they come with twin 250?s with thrust props.  That?s probably a factor of >100X the force either an 8 or 9 hp outboard, or an anchor kedge is going to provide.

I had an electric start 8 hp mercury 4 stroke. Took us the length of the Sea of Cortez and from Spain to Turkey over 4-5 years. Lots of weather in between. It was always enough.  Sailed the pacific NW and Sea of Cortez in previous years with a 6 hour Yamaha electric start but after 10 years it kept catching on fire so we got the 8 Merc. Except a few times with nasty currents, we mostly always made forward progress.

Hi Tom,
I have a single lever remote engine control on my Honda 8 outboard.  The remote engine control is mounted on the port side gunnel a couple feet forward of the transom.  This is the best setup of all.
