Reviews / Votes
'A godsend to anyone with an outboard motor on their boat or tender.' All at Sea (April 2010) '...a handsome, compact, introduction to the universal small craft power unit.' Nautical Magazine (July 2010) 'Brilliant. Just the job to level the playing fields when it comes to wrestling with a stubborn or temperamental outboard! It is a highly recommended carry aboard companion that will undoubtedly earn its keep somewhere along the line.' Sailing (Octber 2010)More details
