Little tanaka outboard

[lawnworker]

Does Tanaka still have any of the small cruise and carry type outboards. I have read that production has stopped on these, but I am hoping there are still some in a warehouse some where that will be sold cheaply.I am looking for the lightest one made for a canoe mount.

Hi,
Your best bet is eBay. The 1.2 h.p. would be the way to go for a canoe.

Here is the link to our Outboard Parts Center http://www.tanaka-usa.com/index.php?section=129

Thanks for the link. I will check E bay. The 120 looks like the way to go. I wonder why Tanaka stopped making these things?
