Harry Honda

Harry Honda is our trusty electric start 9.9 hp, 4 stroke outboard motor. We bought Harry in Newport, Rhode Island shortly after we bought Perigee (October '16) and while we were not looking for a 4 stroke electric start motor, Harry had been abandoned by his previous owner after just 20 hours of use and was available at the right price. Dave wanted a 2 stroke 15 hp motor but 2 stroke motors are no longer available in the US. I was not disappointed with Harry, he is a quiet running, sweet smelling, push to start motor in an attractive silver colour that matched the dinghy. Not that colour matters. We take delivery of Harry and the dinghy Nov '16 In April 2017 while in Bequia, St Vincent & the Grenadines we decided to get protective chaps made for our dinghy. So that Harry did not feel left out we had a little coat made for him too. Doesn't he look smart in blue? Maybe colour does matter! New look Harry in blue. Harry has been running pretty much trouble fr
