LEHR range of OEM propane-powered outboard motor offerings includes 2.5hp, 5hp, 9.9hp, 15hp, and 25hp models.
The benefits of propane over gasoline include lower fuel costs, no gasoline polluting the water, no ethanol or fuel related issues, zero evaporative emissions, easy starts, no priming, no carburetor gum-up and no winterizing.
“Gasoline is difficult to store and transport and the carbon monoxide fumes it produces can be harmful to boaters as well as the environment. This effects the entire food chain," explains Herzer, who patented a way to make small commercial engines run cleaner and more efficiently on propane.LEHR also manufactures propane-powered floor polishing equipment under the brand name Onyx Environmental, as well as providing propane engine solutions, ranging from 5 hp to 50hp for OEM under the brand name EnviroGard.
