I had that issue taking sharp turns down rivers. If I had to do it again, I would definitely bypass that sensor

That one was a 6.5 HP motor.

I don't recall. I think it will fit all motors up to 10 hp (for the small kit). Go to their website (mudmotorkit.com) and it will have the specs for it

I’m thinking about putting a 3hp or a 6.5 diesel engine on it .,, I think it would be a pretty cool build I don’t think it would be very fast but it would be durable I have a 14 foot jon

I treated this little engine like a red-headed step child and didn't think twice about it. Definitely can't do that with a traditional outboard. Plus the parts are dirt cheap and readily available.

It will still run with the regular mix

@@PolkFishin You are correct. Almost any engine will run on American "gasohol" of the recommended octane and suffer no ill effects - even ones with carburetors. The problem only rears its ugly head after an engine has been stored, or maybe even just sat idle for a couple of weeks, when the ethanol crystallizes and clogs the carburetor. And unfortunately, the smaller the carb, the faster it will happen and the more profound the problem will be. Curiously, this does not happen to nearly the same degree in fuel injected engines. It has to do with carburetors having a plethora of small jets and passageways inside them along with a pool of fuel that, through various air vents etc, are all pretty much exposed to atmospheric conditions. ...So just be aware of this and take proper precautions when not using or storing a carbureted motor, that's all. By the way... great video!👍Thanks for posting it, and I didn't mean to hijack it or sidetrack you.

@@ralphcantrell3214 Dump a gallon of carb cleaner in it and send it. Lol

@@PolkFishin LOL! Maybe that's the answer

Medium kit would probably be best, but I had a 22hp (with a large kit) on a 14 footer and it was very fast. The only problem I had was my transom flexing when i would gun it. If your transom can handle it, then put on a 22hp large kit

It's in the description

I never did unless I took it in saltwater. I used regular marine grease from autozone

The return spring was a little flimsy and would bind if I didn't keep it lubricated

I believe that one needs the medium kit. Same company, though.

I still love these kits. Way more reliable than an outboard.

You don't need a clutch, but you won't be able to cut the power to the prop without stopping the engine. It's not a big deal. You learn how to navigate with it.

Locate the wires for your engines On/Off switch and tie into that. You'll want to wire it so that if the kill switch is pulled, it opens the circuit like if you simply switched the engine to "off". Does that make sense?

You'll be surprised how shallow these things can go

?

Thats exactly what hes talking about in the video. Its their 3-7hp kit

Typically, you want to replace the oil every 6 months if you use it regularly. If it still looks good though, I'd just roll with it.

There's a site that sells stage 1,2,3 kits for this motor. They sell a muffler as well, no idea how well it works.

Everything is quiet when you're deaf ;)

@@PolkFishin I always would tell people at my job "Don't worry,It gets quieter every day!"

Can you add a pipe or metal hose and let the exhaust shoot into the water?

I've run them through mud, rocks, and hard sandy bottoms. The prop won't hit the bottom due to the blade that sits underneath it

I wouldn't recommend it.
