Harald,

Since 2008 (or earlier) I use this outboard engine for my Dehlya22.
Never any problem or show stopper. Works perfect.

Best regards,
Claus

Hi, and thank you for answer.

Do you use the original engine bracket?
and have you done any improvements to the boat to cope with 8hp?

Best regards
Harald

Hi Harald,

Do you use the original engine bracket? Yes.
and have you done any improvements to the boat to cope with 8hp? No, change or improvement.
The reason why I decided for 8hp was that I need a strong maschine against river rhein...

Many thanks, Claus.

Is it normal on a dehlya22 to use a remote controlbox, or just use the controls on the engine itself?

Harald

Harald.
I don't have a remote control.
So for my purspose it's sufficient using the controls on the engine itself.
In terms of comfort a remote control would be nice to have...
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Claus

Do You use a high trust sailpropeller or a standard propeller?
