Propane Power

Lehr’s new 2.5 and 5 hp outboards use the same fuel as your BBQ – no, not charcoal, but propane. You can even hook up a Lehr outboard to the same propane tank as your BBQ, or you can pop in a 16.4-ounce cylinder, the same kind used for a Coleman lantern.

I had the exclusive opportunity to run these four-stroke outboards, which debuted this week at the 2012 Miami International Boat Show. I found both engines easy to start – one pull and they were running without the need to prime or choke the engine. Driving solo, I got a top speed of 9 mph with the 5 hp model on 12-foot aluminum boat.

The 5 hp model has neutral, forward and reverse gears, and carries an MSRP of $1,919,99 for the 49.6-pound 15-inch version; $1,955.99 for the 52.8-pound 20-inch version. The 2.5 (available in a 37.9-pound 15-inch model only) has just neutral and forward (spin the outboard around to back up) and an MSRP of $1,199.99. All of the models carry three-year limited warranties.

While you may not get excited about these small, tiller-steer, pull-start outboards, the prospect of more powerful propane-powered outboards is intriguing. According to Lehr founder and CEO Bernardo Herzer, propane may well be the fuel of the future. The U.S. produces so much that it is a net exporter of this clean-burning, high-octane fuel.

To learn more about our test of the Lehr propane outboards, look for the April 2012 issue of Boating magazine. Or call 310-839-9009 or visit golehr.com.

I hope that Bernardo Herzer is right. It would be a blessing to use propane as a fuel in the future, especially when the other fuels are almost done. Best wishes, Karina from charter italy.

I would really like to know more about this because I really think it is very interesting. I think it's a little bit expensive but it does worth the price. Try yachts in seychelles too.

Ya propane is great for your BBQ but believe me thats where it should stay, where I work they tried the use of propane vehicles and trust me when I say this THEY HAVE NO POWER, put a load on that boat and see how it performs, not just one person, load it up and compare with a gas engine (Next boat test idea? ) GAS VERSES PROPANE you decide if all fails we could have a steak on the BarB :-)

What an exciting announcement by Lehr! With gasoline now priced twice as much as propane, which has zero emissions and won't pollute the water, why would I continue with a gasoline engine? I can't wait to give the Lehr propane outboard motor a try.
