Any suggestions are appreciated
HDPE has a good slip coefficient as does nylon $ wise low ish cost but proper bunk carpet is pretty good cheaper too

Outboard engines
Hello if you were after a 9.9 outboard engine. Short shift. Would you go for Yamaha or Honda 10.

Outboard engines
Personally would be going for the lightest from any of the big six makes.

Tohatsu/Merc/Mariner 37/38kg
Suzuki 39kg
Yamaha 40kg
Honda 43kg

However, Yamaha’s always appear a notch above the opposition in terms of finish.
