Hello,
I have always tought about converting a small outboard gas engine into electric for powering a zodiac (3.1m).
Last week I bought an older mercury 4.5hp outboard which is being disassembled now.
For the replacement motor i was thinking about using the CA120-70 HK motor.
RPM will be slightly higher then the stock 2-stroke engine and power will be around 9kw.
Would this be a good choice? The outboard can handle the power, the 10hp version has the same driveshaft and gearbox.
