I got a similar outboard, GX50, and I noticed I go faster if it's raised up in the mount 6" or so. The plate above the prop inline with the bottom of my canoe works perfect. Maybe the shaft hitting more water adds resistance, or maybe it leverage or something. The engine does sit a little higher, but my canoe is usually loaded, so it's not scary or nuthin'.🤙

This would be no different really than the Nucanoe Pursuit. You need a mount for the rear which I think Crescent offers now. The other option is to a Wilderness mount. I have those on all of my Crescent SUP. Call my company if you need any help or advice.

That is so not true. They have oil slingers inside of the crankcase to prevent any problems with oil getting the carburetor. The only issue would be from laying it on the side where the crankcase breather to the carb is located. Oil could foul the carb.

Is the prop supposed to turn in 6? I ran mine and thought I had a neutral then speeds in 5,4,3 but now it seems to run in 6,5,4 and won't get up to three.
@kayakbuddysllc-lightweight494710 ай бұрын
The throttle starts in neutral and has 4 positions thereafter. You can adjust the cable tension at the shifter and also at where it bolts down with the stainless washers. If the prop turns at 6 you need to loosen the tension at the throttle or move a washer at the connector on the engine.
I love all the different motor setups, I see. Kayak fishing, cruising the lakes, oceans. I run my J2 PP 768 Bixpy on my Oldtown Autopilot, and then use my Minnkota when i'm out to a spot. But I have my 2019, 2.5hp Suzuki outboard, I do run it once in a while, just for fun. It took me a long time to design a solid transom mount, but that's the best part. 🌊 🛶 🎣 5 to 6mph, is extremely fast on a solid, stable, fishing kayak.
