    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.

  • @ioughtab

    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 was thinking the same thing. I have a 63cc post hole auger. That would be good, auger, pole saw, weed whacker and outboard motor. I bet that thing would make my kayak scoot right along. I think I might die of smoke inhalation by the time I get to the spot for fishing though.

    Always tie your mount screws together.
    They tend to vibrate loose and you can loose your engine.
    I put a long shank bike lock on mine thru the holes, also a theft deterrent.

    It seems to me you should take the head and lower apart then remount the head on it but rotate the head 90 degrees. That way the pull cord is aimed towards the boat and the exhaust would be aimed away from you. It would make starting easier and it wouldn't be as loud.
    Also you could weed whack the yard if you keep it off the boat. Lol

    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 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

    I did notice in the video there is a drain and filler hole with a alen head screw in it. You did not have to pull the prop and the gear cover off. And also when you have the prop leg down it also will be the oil level indercator so you fill till the oil starts to run out. Thats the way it is on most out board motors.

    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.
