I certainly would do it again with electric propulsion even if I had to run the Honda most of the time. It would be even quieter than running the old diesel and less vibration too, The nice thing abouit the Honda you can move it anywhere on deck. Especially in the calm conditions of the Canal. With the diesel it was always under the cockpit. The noise and vibration caused a lot of fatigue.

Sorry, that last post probably comes across as contentious. Didn't mean it to be - was just curious as to whether running the canal would be practical, as I assume you'd have to run the Honda almost continuously.
