It's awesome but loud. A friend of mine made his really quiet for no money extra. we found a piece of thin steel pipe, made a 180 degree bend with it, drilled a hole in the outer shaft housing and welded it to the shaft housing and muffler outlet. Then we drilled some holes below the water line so the exhaust goes underwater. Made it very quiet and you can still rotate it 360 degrees for reverse.

I have to agree with Kenny, you need to remove the four bolts and reposition the motor and the prop 180 degrees to what they are as well as the tiller handle. that way you can pull the rope from inside the boat with out turning the motor around. You might check with a boat shop about how far below the hull the propeller should be, to low or to high each causes a lose of propulsion.

It popped on the first pull and started on the second. It's about the same noise level as a weed-eater. I am very impressed with the design and quality. I can't wait until spring to have it in the water.

I have the 4 stroke version of that. Sounds like yours is tuned better than mine. Best 2 pieces of advice o have it turn the power head 180° so you can use the tiller handle while starting. Also when your doing the pull the clutch spring out and put them in a vice. Heat springs with a torch and stretch them out a bit so the clutch engages at a lot lower rpm. Makes it easier to troll too

As a suggestion you may want to obtain a pair of 8' wood oars and install a pair of real good oar locks on them. You would be surprised how fast you can move and as a bonus you get some exercise. Oars would be a great back up and they also allow you to move from one spot to another without starting a motor. Also they are great for stealth approach when duck hunting... We fished the NY Reservoirs that don't allow motors and we would actually troll for Lake and Brown Trout by rowing. The long oars can get you going a at a nice trolling speed. We also used downriggers and it was all on a 14' Jon Boat.

I’d use new hardware and some loctite for sure. Wouldn’t you want to pull start it from inside the boat? Not sure if you can flip the motor to the lower unit. Awesome video man!

I got one of these in nz for 150 nz cheap but pulled me out of the shit enabled me to get to my yacht thats all that mattered it still goes hard years later great thing is you will find a weed wacker motor nearly every where you sail so can be powered with a great variety of gas motors and even a 12 volt starter motor with adapter will run the lower unit so versatile and handy

Hey good job, I have 2.5 hp cruise&carry, that I bought off a buddy of mine because he couldn't get it started, he got if off his cousin, for the same reason. I got it running , just a throttle cable issue, That was 25 years ago, I still have it and its still running, those little 2 strokes hold up,,,,you don't need a 30,000 dollar boat to catch fish,,,enjoyed the video,,,, 'FISH ON'

The boat turned out good. That engine is just a knock off stihl motor. Just a weed wacker kombi motor. I've built/worked on a lot of these including the Chinese ones. I knew that cord was going to snap lol. These things are hit and miss. Quality is def super low but some last a while some never ever work without lots of repairs. Imo in a boat in the big water I wouldn't trust it. A pond sure. BTW the break in stuff is something I never follow just run it wide to seat the rings it'll have better performance that way. One other thing, you want to run that thing wide open at all times in the water or you'll break those clutch springs. It's meant to be run full throttle.

Motofarm mx Sorry mate , as a long time Stihl dealer and 40 yr small engine tech, they have nothing in common with a Stihl engine. They actually are roughly based on a old Kawasaki brush cutter engine, but have been changed and enlarged over time.

Do you need a toss float, life jackets, lights, horn/ whistle, and a fire extinguisher like other boats?

@bigdoggstatus99 3 жыл бұрын

Each state is different depending on boat length. I only need to have 1PFD/passenger and at least minimal distress equipment (Orange flag day, whistle/horn at night)for under 14ft here. I recommend collapsible paddles just in case 9.9 won't start and troll motor batt goes kaput, oh yeah and proper operating lights for the night😜 of course.

Nice Video dude, just found your channel. Good straight up info. A tip on launching at home I learned when I lived in the middle east for a few years... Hook up a CHEAP winch... to the front of your trailer. You can roll the trailer back into the water while enjoying a refreshing beverage with the winch remote in your other hand. We called it the one handed launch lol. Just affix the winch to the house or deck or whatever... Cable to the trailer and you can roll it down and pull it up with no effort. I used an old Wally World winch that I think cost me

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel Look at the ebay ad that you have on here, it shows pull cord to the front and gas tank on the side. Also your oil fill is the hex screw on the side of the lower unit. Take the screw out, add oil that it is jus to the middle of the screw hole. And fill it like it is on the boat so you dont over fill it. Other then that i enjoy your vids. I always look forward to yours and Capt. Dan's vids.

It helps to put a piece of steel or aluminum between the clamp bolts of the transom and the sheet metal of the boat . We learned the hard way that no matter how small the motor, cracking will happen
