More compact and much lighter While maintaining the engine displacement of 138cm3, the conventional design has been overhauled and downsized to realise 1.0kg weight reduction (24.0kg*1). The lighter weight has improved operability. Along with weight reduction, the carrying handle integrated into the lower cover which has been rounded and made easier to hold, and an additional grip at the front further improve its portability. Enhanced user-friendliness The overhead integral fuel tank and the new lubricating systems allow transport and storage of the outboard on any of three sides (port, starboard, or front) without leakage of fuel or oil. Because the overhead fuel tank is placed right above the carburettor, it also allows gravity fuel supply, enabling the engine to start instantly right after filling fuel, even after long-term storage. These features have enhanced its user-friendliness as a portable outboard motor.
