[C320-list] Dinghy Propulsion

[David Veeneman]

We currently use a Tohatsu 6 HP motor on our West Marine RIB. we tow the RIB without the motor, which we transport on a mounting block on our transom, we use a light-duty davit to raise the motor to the mounting block.

Towing the dinghy without the motor significantly reduces the towing weight and results in improved fuel economy. The 6 HP motor gives us adequate power for planing when needed.
