Taking my Hangkai 12hp outboard to the water for the first time

- I purchased this motor back in October of last year, and I finally get to take it into the water now in January. It has been a busy UA-cam season for me, so I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding. Now, the motor, Holy Eternal Flame!!!! It freaking rocks!!! And I am not saying this just because. I am saying because it is awesome. Super smooth while revving it, it is noisy, but does not shake your hand. During idle it does shake a bit, but it is not uncomfortable to hold the tiller. The most impressive thing of all about this motor, you see, I used to own a 9.8hp Tohatsu 4 stroke, that it cost me about 2,100 smackaroons, while this Hangkai only cost me 1,000 schmickels "I'm trying to be edgy imitating Rick&Morty quotes". Now, here's the kicker, my old 9.8 was about 90 pounds or so heavy, the hangkai is about 60 pounds, just like my 6hp Tohatsu, but it's pumping a lot of power, and I can't believe that something this light can perform the way it does. I am going to make a second video review when I camp again on one of the islands, hoping the waters are not too rough, because I want to see how much gas it uses. I could not do that with just 10 miles ran. Final thought, I just can't believe a motor like this can be this good for the price I paid. 10/10 in my opinion.

Your enthusiasm is so wonderful, always enjoy watching your videos
Thank you so much! I love making these vids
Love this lots Erick! Lookin good my friend!
😁😁
Great Video, thank you for FINALLY getting it in the water..... (grin).
Lol, yup, finally.
Looks fun! Ive got my 18 coming next week!
Nice!! I hear that one is a clone of the Yamaha 15hp 2 stroke outboard.
Wow 20mph shes a real water rocket! Great vid
20 is plenty indeed
I’m so jelly,looks like fun
Hehe, it was fun, but the wake kicked my butt, lol.
@@ErickMartinSucrethat's the fun part!!!
@@boatsandoutboards9070 Tell that to my spine, lol
paling seru kebut kebutan di laut menggunakan perahu karet dan mesin hangkai 12hp ..mantap brother 😇👍 salam IB INDONESIA 🇮🇩
Memang benar. Hello from Florida!
Awesome 😊 Thanks Erick. By the way ...just ordered my 12hp hangkai...can't wait till the spring ...woo-hoo
Nice!!! It will not disappoint, in fact it may surprise you as it did to me. It costs more than half of my old 9.8hp Tohatsu, but it is lighter and has the same power.
11:00 ...get an 8 ft. long piece x 4 ft. wide orange or green plastic construction site fencing. I put it over top all my gear then attach it all around with carabiniers clipped to the boat's d-rings. Keeps your gear from bouncing out or getting blown away by the wind...
Roger that.
Hey love the video! I this in the Sebastian area? or farther south?
Maybe 15 miles south of sebastian
You definitely need a Hangmaha 18(15) with that camping gear😂
Without that load,Hangtsu 12(9.8) is the perfect fit. Have fun with it
Comparing top speeds with your tohatsu 9.8 , I'm now pretty sure this one is a 9.8 as well.
Still , expected to see it planing with camping gear
Maybe when the water are calm
@@ErickMartinSucre probably
Looks great!! How does it compare to tohatsu 9.8? Is it faster and more powerful or does it feel same?
Feels about the same amount of power, but the outboard is lighter. The Tohatsu 9.8 4 stroke is about 90 pounds, while this is is 60, the same as my 6hp Tohatsu.
@ErickMartinSucre thanks for the info. Yea i also have tohatsu 9.8 but hangkai 12 weight really is attractive. Mine still functioning well so i'm not sure if i want to buy same power but weight of motor is really attractive
@tch595 hmm, of the weight isn't an issue I say stay with it. At the worse case scenario, you can sell the Tohatsu and buy the Hangkai since they are cheap in comparison.
Hey Eric,
Have you had any air leaks in your boats or air-floors yet? I sealed my Mars 12.5' last year and am resealing the air-floor today. Since the floor is 10 psi & flat it's more difficult to seal than the boat.
Just thought you might do a video about sealing inflatables when you get an air leak.
I had one recently on the floor. Small leak and easy to patch
@@ErickMartinSucre My leaks have tended to be at the seams and where the tape overlaps. I'm hoping inflatable boat sealant will fill them because patches would be difficult to apply in those areas.
Wow that thing rips! Is that a kaboat you're on?
That's my Saturn ZK380
wait. I did not know that we can camp on an island.🤩
Oh yes, and there a plenty here in Florida.
Next time you should try the hangkai 18hp. I found the hangkai 12hp is just not enough for the ib in the sea to fight against the tide and wave. The hangkai 18hp no problem and plane anytime even with a loaded ib
Nice! I prefer the 12 because it is 60 pounds and easy to move around, but there is a chance I may get the 18hp, I've seen then around 1300
@@ErickMartinSucre the hangkai 12hp and 18hp price difference only 150usd in my country😁
@chong7091 Yup! I like my 12, I got some planing tabs for my inflatable that help it catch plane quickly as well, and hydrofoil
Is the smell/smoke from the 2 stroke noticeable or bearable? I use a 4 stroke 6hp and am fine of the nearly zero smell of it.
Mostly when I'm on idle or stopped.
Combien de bateau avez-vous LOL ? Avez-vous assez de place dans votre maison ?
J'ai 2 bateaux pneumatiques et un paddle gonflable. Regardez la vidéo et vous verrez. ua-cam.com/users/shortsZKpmqKMEYOM
I will take a happy two stroke every Time!
This is my first, and I am impressed with it.
Can you explain me why? I'm new to boats engines
Well for starters, I got it on special for 1k us dollars last October. In comparison, a 4 stroke Tohatsu 9.8hp will cost around 2300-2599 dollars. This one needs a bit more attention to the break-in, and mixing the gas with oil, but you get the same power on a lighter package. I'm gonna make a video this weekend for the things to look out for on these outboards.
@@ErickMartinSucre Thanks
😁
Hows the motor holding up? just order a 12hp also for my 12ft aluminum boat.
Dude! It's so awesome! Just be sure to break it in properly, grease up the joints and the propeller spline, and you'll be good.
@ErickMartinSucre probably break it on fishing just do some slow trolling till i hit most of the hours
@@joaquinsantillan6257 Sounds like a plan. You could leave it on idle while fishing, unless that spooks the fish.
What were the speeds you were getting on your Tohatsu 9.8?
How does it compare to Tohatsu 9.8 four stroke ?
I got 21 once with it. This one is 30 pounds lighter
@boatsandoutboards9070 I bet I could get 21 in flat waters
I finally got my tohatsu 9.8 yesterday ...
Man, it is back breaking...I won't be able to handle it alone...😅
I will have to get a trailer...😂
By the way, what is your most favorite Saturn boat? Thanks!
My SK385XL. Easy to deploy, it can handle some wake, and it goes like a rat with its butt set on fire in the water, using just my 6hp outboard.
Do the tohotsu parts work on it?
Yes, but only the 2-stroke model. When searching for parts, make sure to search for Tohatsu 9.8hp 2-Stroke outboard, and the search results will show the correct parts.
The primary parts you'll need in the future are spark plugs, impeller, propeller, and zink anode.
@@ErickMartinSucre awesome thanks for a quick reply. You think tohotsu controls will work with it?
That information I do not have, sorry.
@ErickMartinSucre no problem I appreciate the answers you could provide.
