    Quit on the Water!

    I have never seen any info about the G2, whether it uses Hydraulics to move the Clutch Dog, or Electromagnets to move a Linkage.

    Evinrude 35 vs new Johnson 30?

    The 35 is indeed a Crank rated motor, and the 30 is a Prop rated motor. There is a 99.99% chance that they produce the same power. Even if there was a 5hp difference, that would be about 1mph less
