New 25 Owners - Single Engine?

WOW PHANTOM

That was a great post thanks for all the work .

:smiled
I also ordered Honda 135 / 15 combo. I think mostly
chose honda because of the color but I"M glad it seems
to be best.

Very well done!

One point - make certain that the alternator amps are useable before you make your decision -- some (depending upon injector type) EFI engines need up to 20 amps for operation.

The 135/150 appears to be a great choice. Smooooth, economical, quiet. Because of the long trips here in Pac NW, the extra 20 percent economy is a big factor in both range and wallet weight.

Dusty, Honda claims that both the 200 and 225 provide 48 amps at 1000 rpm. That's 80% of maximum (60 amps)at only 1000 rpm. Very unusual,but assuming it's true, VERY usable.

That info plus an accompanying graph is in the Honda '05 official sales brochure.

Unfortunately it does not give figures for the 135/150. If they perform as well at the same rpm, they would put out 32 amps. If that is at 1000 rpm, I can live with it.

Dusty, John and Sea Wolf: thanks.
 
Phantom,

According to Honda, the 135 puts out 30 amps at 1000 RPM and 40+ (yes a minimum of 40 A) at 2000 RPM and above.

Hope this helps.
