Is Yamaha 8HP Outboard Motor 15 Inch Shaft easy to transport and store?

This portable outboard is described for jon boats, inflatables, and portable boating applications. Its tiller control, 15 in (Short) shaft, and compact 8 HP format keep the focus on straightforward boating rather than a complex helm setup.

This portable outboard is configured with a 15 in (Short) shaft, Tiller steering, Manual start, and Manual trim and tilt.
