Yea i could agree i personaly felt like i could have done more, such as change lower fluid after breakin but now thats its winter it will be coming soon ill probably make a short video about it and the water impeller soon.

Breakins are for sissys that are afraid of everything in life......just think about it for a second...do u brake in a new weed Wacker or lawnmower?....no u buy it and go balls to the wall wide open mowing the lawn...... do you brake in a gun barrel the way you are supposed to?...no everyone buys them and starts a shooting and don't even know they have a break in......do u break in a new car engine?....nope you buy it and start driving to work as normal......outboards are the only thing ppl even think have break in periods anymore...and honestly I think it's ridiculous at this point......I own a scott attwater outboard built in 1946..that spent most it's life on the Hudson River on a duck boat.....I can almost garentee it was NOT properly broken in...and has prolly more hours on it then any modern outboard on the planet and it still fires up 1st or second pulls and runs like a top all day..... maitnence is the key.....break in is kinda a joke

Thanks for the info! Love people from other countries enjoying the videos!

You can get a good day on the water with just the built in tank and it's nothing to bring a extra 2 gallons tank and refill on the water, but you'd seriously have to be running all day I think. I rarely use my external tank it's more for my bigger engines an a reserve fuel. I'm gonna be making a update video soon on going over how many hours and some tips for the engine.

I have one I use daily as I live on a sailboat. The internal tank last a full day of running.

Mecrury

Yea that's all I had to it's been running good. I haven't had a problem out of it

I did a few hours of the barrel like probably 3 or 4. Started off idle and worked up to about half throttle very progressively. Like 45 minutes then I'd increase the throttle just a touch. After a few hours of that I put it on the boat and kept it below half throttle for a few more hours. All together I didn't wide open for about 10 hours of run time of what I did for a break in.

I'm not positive on the mix ratio but I do know it's was alot more then I use now and It was very smokey lol

I would take the spark plug out and ground it out to the motor with the wire still atached and see if you have spark. Might just be a spark plug.

Its been a while ,but I don't think it did. I think i just picked it up from my local part store.

It doesn't have to be done at once

No, you fill the lower unit with lower unit oil though

I don't think it did, but I live in Tennessee and we ain't required to have them registered but maybe you could go to your court house and ask them what you would need. Maybe just proof of purchase with the serial number would be enough.

It doesn't come with a title. All I had to do was take my receipt to the Texas Dept. of Wildlife to show the cost, Tax, and Total of the purchase. Also will need all the info on the tag showing the serial number etc. Best to take a picture of it and show the clerk in the office. It was pretty easy to get it registered with all of that. Oh you will also have some paperwork that they will give you to fill out but they will help you with it if needed. This is in Texas , so I hope this will help you or someone else who lives in Texas

I have one and it starts up on the first pull every time. I bought the 18hp model and sadly I can’t say the same. The damn thing dies out when in idle.

I have been wondering about the 18

Mine has been doing amazing!

Yes

Honestly I'm pretty impressed with it I'm making a update video on how it does on the boat soon I have already recorded the footage of it by myself but I wanna get 2 adults on it and see how it does

@@SM-Tackle Sounds nice! I think that chinese brands are quite underrated, as long you take care of it will it last a very long time

It's super easy to start and somehow I feel confident in it going out past my trolling motor range

I appreciate the sub I can go about 11 mph on my fish finder gps in it by myself with a decked out 14ft v hull

And the fuel line fittings was Yamaha mercury to run a external gas tank

I wouldn't trust what was in mine it was like mineral oil.

No, it was about 700 shipped from US.

I only had it about a year and half and my friend dropped it off his boat.

They go for about 750 I think now

@@SM-Tackle 65 bucks free shipping i payed like $9 shipping on another site.

@@SM-Tackle i payed less for mercury 2 stroke 6hp 600.00

@@ESPNsPeacockbassProfessor please post the link many people that view my video are in the market for a cheap small outboard

What are you needing to know

I will have to look for it. You know how manuals go. They get slid in a drawer to never to be seen again. I'd be happy to help with any questions you have tho

@@SM-Tackle well I fouled out the plug and I changed it but I started it today and won’t fire and I have new gas

@@SM-Tackle also I’m not sure what the gas mixture is I need as well I have just been using two cycle amd putting it in a gallon of gas I’m guessing I’m doing it wrong

For the break in (first 10 hrs) your supposed to use 35 to 1 and after that you can use 50 to 1 but I always mix like 40 to 1 I'd rather be a little smokey then not lubeing. Have you tried testing for spark on the new plug?

I appoglize I have stopped filming with my gopro because of the poor audio
