See the servicing, repair and wintering video blog of our 15HP 2 Stroke here: https://youtu.be/A2rdFDGL5ao The reasons we went for this particular outboard was it was very light (13.5 kilograms), which makes it easier to get on and off the boat. It's also easy to maintain, there's no impeller to change and it's only got one cylinder. It's air cooled as well which means there's no raw water cooling system to deal with, it's very fuel efficient and has an integral fuel tank. The other reason we went for this particular model is because we thought it would be easy for the kids to handle because it's small and easy to manoeuvre. So in this video, I give it a full service and winterise it. I take apart the carburettor and give it a good internal clean and change the engine and gearbox oils. If you're a professional, expert or even an old salty sea dog with some good advice on servicing outboards, then please leave any constructive criticism, insight and advice in the comments below the videos.
