Looks perfect.

But I dont understand why the throttle is Not starbord side inside the pedestal. With mercury it Works fine... So it should work with any brand....

good thoughts. thanks @all

I allready had a try with a inflatable Kayak. But it really was not that a dinghy shall be. so I brought it back.

Rowing an inflatable can be difficult. Especially difficult if there is a strong wind. Another thing I do not like about the EZ boat is the oars. They seem poorly designed and unfold to create a surface. I would search for reviews of owners who have actually used the boat. Sorry what do u man with ...

important question for me: How big has a dinghy to be (ROWING! not motoring). Should take 3 people. So can you do it in 240cm/7.87" or is it too small? I don't know yet the brand will win. The technique from EZraft ist interessant for me: Outside dacron/sewed, inside the tubes that holds the ai...

Why the EZRaft: It goes about weight, others are 3 times heavyer. And you get a smal bag.

In my storage space is quite rare

Hello Has anyone use the EZRaft dinghy? starts @12kg My question is: Can you row the Q240, having in total 3 people Ore would you need the the q270? Both have stowing bad 85x30x30cm Important: I will not have a motor... So it will be rowed... https://www.ezraft.com/shop it looks quite smart. Rudders...

I too worry about sailing downwind without a backstay.

It makes no sense for me. You would never install a rig on a sailboat like ours are that you cannot sail downwind.

Never heard a rigg broke sailing downwind.

Also you can use spinakers aswell without a backstay!

I am now past the first 20 hours on the new motor, and so getting ready to do the first break-in service.. Which is engine oil & filter and gear oil. As we are quite overspent after all the new motor expenses, I am going to have to do the service myself - in the slip.. Engine oil & filter i...

I don't understand why the new oil should pump up the old one. Why it will not mix?

And if you had water in the gear box for some reasen... Why the heavier water shall get up high over the oil?

well, thats right. I myself derig 1 spreader for the mac mast dance...

BUT: don't forget: If you derig the spreaders you may have a hassle with all the lines later...

cool!

In the photo your spreaders look somewhat strange...

Most of time I rise the mast on the water. Dont bother, Do it!

Chain is 6mm, line I guess 12mm, could be 10mm?

for low speeds I use rudder(s) down. So I fixe the motor in middle position and I (or the AP) just steer with the rudders. If I need the OB to turn as well I watch to keep the OB in middle position. As in the steering system there is some play I can correct steering by just turn the wheel ab bit so ...
