Unboxing and First Start of our new outboard - Fair Weather Sailors - parsun 2.6hp Coleman

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

Safe journeys with the new engine. Saves a lot of rowing. Make sure you get spare spark plug & correct size socket. Our engine failure in Glengarrif was the spark plug which John changed after a LONG row out (with fuel & groceries) to where we were moored.

Good call! Must pick one up! We always tend to carry a few bits like that.

I have the air cooled 4 cycle cliency/Hangkai. Quiet too. I wouldn't leave gas in it for longer than a week.

[@fairweathersailors]

Not had an issue (yet) with the fuel. It's been very good.

[@audreyslater8542]

Hope you have lots of fun with it! 😀

[@fairweathersailors]

Hi Audrey, ya we hope it will bring us to many new places with this little motor and it open up new anchorages and ports for us. Looking forward to seeing where it will take us.

Keep er lit betsy!

[@fairweathersailors]

Drive it like your late for mass.... 😜

Hi, fair wind if your stiil on the sea... How did the engine go on the run ? I bet very few gas consumption. But in general...starting, oil, oxydation, material...thx. (Was sailing 14 years😊)

[@fairweathersailors]

Still on the water and running well. 1 maybe 2 fills of fuel a year... So ya economic. No issue with corrosion. We do take off and run fresh water at the start and end of the season. But ya we must put together a follow up video now a few years on. 😜

How much width is required to be able to clamp this?

[@fairweathersailors]

The piece of wood was about 30mm wide... Is that what you were wondering? Always willing to answer ya have.

[@Sailing_Aquarius]

Aww wee bought the same outboard 👍

[@fairweathersailors]

Their a nice little unit... We'll be doing a bit of a review on how we get a few spins out of it. It was very handy for loading up the boat as we set of on holidays today. West Cork here we come...

[@comancheflyer4903]

Did you read the instruction manual beforehand?

[@fairweathersailors]

No don't think we did... 🙈

Brapa hargax

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

The kill cord should be around your wrist for safety . If you fall out the engine stops

[@fairweathersailors]

Ya true, we're well aware of that... I used to be a powerboat instructor. Just running it in the garden it wasn't necessary at the time! Haha

[@paulocosta7540]

[@fairweathersailors]

Ya there a good little motor!
