I Bought a Hangkai 3.6 HP outboard engine to pair with my Bass Pro Pond Prowler Tiny Boat. Was this a smart purchase?

I bought a Hangkai 3.6 a few years ago for my inflatable pontoon. I broke the new motor in for about ten hours in my garage before taking it out for a test run. It ran great! I used it often with no issues. The key to success is to follow directions concerning break-in. I had watched so many videos where the purchaser took the motor straight from the box then onto the lake and invariably the owners ran the motors balls-to-the-wall. The motors let them down. DUH! Another point to make is that my motor came with the lower unit dry. FIRST THING: fill lower unit with hypoid oil like any other outboard motor.

I've been looking at the same one or another that is 4 hp. I want something to go on my 14ft Coleman Scanoe. It has a flat back for install. Any suggestions?

Two things , the weight and torque can break your transom. Second the movement and vibration can cause the motor fall off. Make sure the screw clamps are tight and check on them periodically.

I am really suprised Honda hasn't put a stop to those stickers on that motor. They usually have an eye out for stuff like that. I couldn't handle all the noise that thing makes. I'd be curious to see how long it lasts.

Yah, I know Honda has more knockoffs of their motor than any other brand. I'll probably make an update video on the motor this year if its still working!

@jeffmckaig4763 Жыл бұрын

Cool video, was thinking, seems like I've read those engines are 2 stroke, oil mixed with the gas, is this a later version of the HangKai ? Have seen a couple with the Honda stickers. Thanks for posting, fun video.

I don’t know much about motors, but I do know this one only takes ethanol free gas, I believe it’s a later version of a hangkai

Wassup fellow tiny boat enthusiast. Got a link for your SUP paddle? Also, I saw some vids of guys that reinforced their transom. I did mine kinda like Zoffinger's, with HDPE and a torch. Not that I have any regrets, but think the angle of the motor mount is probably the main culprit of stress on the boat...gonna make some wedges and try to get it to plane level, (with me and gear in seated position).

Yah next year I’m gonna try to upgrade the transom area as well. I don’t actually know the link to that paddle because I actually found it on the lake🤣sorry! Send me a pic of your setup on Instagram, I’d love to see it! @humbugvideos

The trick to small engines like this, lawn mowers, weedeaters, give it full choke for a couple pulls, then half choke. When it starts, let it run with a little throttle to warm up. Once it starts to level off, flip the choke off and you're usually good to go. This video is a year old so I'm sure you've figured this out by now. I see in any of your recent videos you're not running this motor. Did it give out, or was it too much added weight or just get in the way with all the other stuff you've got on the boat?

@humbugvideos 6 ай бұрын

Haha, funny you mention that. Yes, I sold it because it was just too much hassle to carry around. I also upgraded my trolling motor and it went the same speed as the outboard so I saw no point in having it. Still worked great though, I would totally recommend it for specific scenarios!

@OpenCarryUSMC 17 күн бұрын

Seems rather low expectations. I’d have expected start in three or less pulls and would not be surprised at first pull. Even harbor freight small engines start first pull as long as you are nice to them (no nasty gas with alcohol for one thing).

Just get real Honda and you will prevent many problems. We still use 4 stroke Honda that my dad bought at 90's. Ofcourse it needs service sometimes, but its servisable and still you can find spare parts and it still runs well. I bet these knock offs wont last as long.
