About 5 or so yrs ago I bought one looked the 2 cycle that he first showed it had basically no instructions just said mix fuel 25-1 it didn't show which way to turn throttle for start fast or slow or which way to turn choke . So when I figured out all that I finally got it started . But the recoil cord was hard to pull it would lock up like the motor was stuck . Called seller he said take plug out and squirt straight gas in cylinder. That worked until I had to start it again . Then from pulling the cord broke . Had to fix that . Once motor started it ran and pushed my 12 'boat pretty good upstream on river . I haven't used it lately got tired of pulling cord . Learned not to yank on cord just pull slow and steady with no slack maybe if I ran it more It would free up . It was an early model and is supposed to be 72 cc . If you buy one good luck

Thanks in advance, Brother. And again, we all here really enjoy the vids. Stay safe, stay healthy, and most importantly, STAY HAPPY! Cheers!

Perfect setup for a small Jon fishing boat. Don't have to mix oil and gas plus less pollution to the lake since the exhaust isn't pumping nasties in the water. When storing motor make sure you drain the gas out of tank and run the motor to use up gas in carb, store it dry. This way it will start and run good next time you use it. Wish we had more lakes here, I would have same rig. One thing I would do for a backup is make sure you take some oars with you just in case, LOL. Thanks for the Vids. :)

"I Love these items. It's simple. We need to get back to simple. The hand held Trailer, miniature engine and the aluminum Craft is all a plus. I believe all is a good marketing trend. It is easy on fuel and the items are easy to maintain." 👍

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzread.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

I almost bought on of those 300 dollar motors but never got around to it. Now I know it might be worth it. Thanks for the video. Have a good one.

The lower unit is water cooled but the engine itself is air cooled. Also, although it doesn't say, you need to remove the propeller and the cap over the drive and fill with 80w gear oil. Otherwise you'll destroy the gears and the engine will go no where after a few uses.

You saved millions of consumer dollars mate.Thank you!!

Bought a new Mariner 2HP for $300 in the 80's. That thing was perfect for smaller lakes and definitely beat row row row the boat.

Seems like with a little know how and tinkering you could easily make this yourself with a good weed whacker. Definitely seems like a good way to get around a pond or lake and not have to worry about batteries. I’m sure you can go quite some time on little gas. Thanks for sharing this video! I just happened to come across your channel and like it ! I’m a fisherman from upstate NY. I mostly fresh water fish for trout . Big brown and rainbow trout at the Ashokan resavoir, one of NYC water supply resavoirs. It has an upper and lower basin divided by a set of gates that regulates the flow from one basin to the next. Early spring I’ll usually fish the Hudson River for striped bass. In my profile picture I’m holding one I caught two years ago, 42 lbs 441/2 inches long. Their only in the river for about a month and a half, they come up to spawn along with the herring. We catch the live herring using a hookless rubber minnow with a 4oz jig head and swim it in circles to attract mating herring. They will follow it right into your net. Some people cut them up and chunk fish, but then you could catch catfish or eel’s so I use a whole live herring which almost guarantees when your drag starts singing, you have a striper on the other end. It’s a much different experience reeling in a big striper from shore in a tidal river than from a boat in the river or ocean. I’ve gone on many charters for striper and blues and never caught one nearly as big as I have in the river. Your arm is burning by the time you get them in. But nothing compares to tuna fishing!! That felt like having a small vehicle on the other end of your pole and it took 8 hours to get to where we were fishing, you see nothing but water for hours and at 2am we arrived at a spot I. The middle of nowhere. There was 4 or 5 other boats not far away. It was pouring and the boat would disappear into giant swells, out of about 10-15 guys only me one other and the mate’s were fishing. Everyone else was extremely sick and couldn’t stand let alone fish. I was young at the time and paid a lot of money so I was going to fish every minute possible and I did. It was a great trip until I got off the boat. Then it was my turn to be sick, after standing strong, fishing and partying with the mates. Once I got off the boat I felt like I was rocking for 3 days. It was horrible, I’ve been on many different trips since and never had that happen again. Have you guys ever fished up north anywhere? Ever been to NY? Where are you guys fishing and what do you normally fish for? I look forward to seeing what your channels all about!! Thanks again, take care, stay safe and healthy!!

The impeller prop probably flexes a little bit when you're running and clears that Bolt

Use a flat file and file down all 3 blades to look even with the curve of the blade, the blades impacting on the bolt will wear out or destroy the shaft bearing and cause damage to the prop itself, keep the bigger prop, displaces more water for better speed and torque

How much lower unit fluid should be in it?

Don't worry about the plastic propeller, it'll self-clearance itself. When I was 16 and lived in Brandon, Florida I bought a 14' fiberglass flats boat and it had a 7.5 HP Chrysler long shaft sailboat engine on it that ran decently. I would take it out of the Tampa Shrimp Docks (the old Seabreeze Restaurant), Bullfrog Creek, and the TECO station, and my friends and I would just fish all the time. I got the boat and trailer for $1,500 and it was worth every penny. I would put the ears on it and flush it out after every run. I haven't had a boat since because I live near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and although I would love to have a Jonboat for running around the rivers with my boys and wife, it's easier said than done. If that Chongchee (no racism or ethnic BS intended, it's a play on the brand name of the engine) engine ran decently and was reliable it would be just fine for a small 12' jonboat. Don't expect to go fast, but it'll do just fine for a little river boat with light current.

Nice video. I like that fishing part and interesting motor.

Every one needs some kind of backup engine. Looks good for most small to mid size boats. I lean towards 2 stroke because my main engine is 2 stroke. Just have a gallon or 2 of regular

Great engine, a lot quieter than the 2 stroke. The white stuff on the aluminum is corrosion, the same as rust. I would spray the aluminum with clear enamel paint to stop the corrosion. I would replace all the rusted washers with stainless steel. I would remove the muffler, clean off the rust and spray it with high temp paint and put a plastic plug in the muffler to keep rain out when storing it.

soo glad i came across this video. i have been thinking about buying a used 12-14' flat bottom boat and getting a small engine just for river fishing locally. i have batteries just sitting on the shelf to use for trolling motors too.

Great motor for pond and small lake fishing. My dad used a trolling and battery all the time.

Thank YOU bro. I would love one of those engine. THANKS.

Man i watched the last video and now this and i am HOOKED!!! I dont even have a boat, nor live near the sea so will likely never own one but i love your videos! Looking forward to more content. Ps: im a mad fishing nut and would LOVE to come to the states and fish in florida (im a UK guy) Keep up the awesome work :)

Great video! I have a Johnson 175 Faststrike, and look forward to testing it out.

Thank's for sharing Buddy...
