Review of my eBay purchase 2.0HP 2 Stroke Petrol Power Outboard Engine to suit a small Fishing Boat or Kayak. I Paid $206 Aussie dollars delivered for this one.
Yes Simon It was just a small leak from the gearbox screw being a little loose during transit,all fixed. Also I just bought a spare prop kit from the same ebay seller for $15 au inc, they dont actually have them listed but they are readily available if you need one.
That,s good i couldn't find a plastic prop only the alloy one, but so far so good my prop still OK. Ill ask the same eBay seller & see if i can get one to. Thanks for the info.
I am in the states ad I am in the market for a small outboard for my 12' aluminum boat, my question is what made you go with that engine and not a used outboard in the same price range? Also now that you've had it a few months what do you think of it?
So far so good, motor still starting/running fine. The reason i got this one was the weight, space/storage as that hull is a old De havilland sail boat and some times when the wind drops off i can just use that motor to get back to shore (beats rowing), so even at the worse if i tipped over and ruined the motor it would be a small loss compared to normal outboard.
I have one of those motors, and I have been using it for years on my pontoon boat. I plumbed in a secondary gas tank on mine and it draws the gas in as I go so there is never a need to stop and fuel. That was the biggest pain ever since the tank on the motor is tiny. I have a video about it on my channel, however, it is in Russian. If you would like I can make a video about how I made up a secondary jerry can gas tank. There is no electricity involved it just works on suction, and it works awesome!!
I opted for the 2 stroke wet version because the exhaust goes down under the waterline so it’s significantly quieter.. not fast by any means but it’ll do the job
Whipper snipper is a new one for me. I've heard weed wacker or weed whipper. I've always been partial to edge trimmer, but I'm adopting Whipper sniper from now on.
I’ve always said to myself “ Who buys these things”... My questions has been answered! The smirk on your face during the 1st launch was “Priceless” “Liked and subscribed” thanks for the post
Aluminum boat the buttered backups but if you had a little homemade driver bolt have been nice little trunk trying to get to your spot motor. No water skiing.
1.) You never rev brand new engine. It needs at least 10 minutes of working on idle. After that you usually need to break in engine for 8-10 hours. 2.) You don't rev engine without any load !

That's the same engine/clutch assembly I have on my post hole auger and it has worked flawlessly for 10 years. Just run the gas out of it at the end of the season so the carb doesn't get gummy.
Mark Osborne - Well said. I would just had a small detail that I never miss. When finishing the gas and engine stopping squirt some WD40 or similar into the intake. Next season had gas and enjoy. :-)
Yep , you got that right . Just spent half a day cleaning out my Mariner outboard (1970's) carb after leaving it for 10 months. The old fuel had eaten into the fuel bowl and left a coating of AL oxide , god only knows what they're sticking in fuel these days .
Just as a curiosity. A few hours ago I took the dust and spider webs from my preferred toy. A 50cc moped that haven't been started since last year (Summer). Thankfully for me I follow my own advise. I simply open the fuel petcock shake it a bit to start the fuel flow. After a couple of kicks there she was back to all it's 50cc 2 stroke glory. The ritual never failed in this past 3 years. BTW the mix has 2 stroke synthetic other than that it's the fuel from last year. ;-)
Can see a good reason for the speed your able to obtain, I think it has alot more to do with your aerodynamic hair cut. I'm certain should you of removed you sunnys you would gain more speed. Over all great presentation, definitely good value for money.
Mine is so noisy you need ear muffs for any journey longer than 10 mins. It leaks oil badly from the stump, overheats and generally is not for for purpose. I would avoid and go for a proper outboard or electric outboard for trolling. You literally troll other river/ lake users with this motor. It is far from fantastic....
For that sort of money you can’t really condemn that little out board and if your happy with it then fair enough , but I would sooner go for a decent seagull silver century ,I know that they are an old motor now but the spares are still readily available and looked after they will last for years
So at 1 liter per 45 minutes, its MARGINALLY more fuel efficient than my 75Hp Merc 2 stroke pushing my 26 footer along at 5 to 6 knots, we use around 2 1/2 liters per hour at that speed. However these look like a great cheap way of getting on the water (the Merc was around $10,000), just wondering if you could put a additional muffler on to cut some of the noise down, I would imagine it would get annoying after a very short time
I was looking at the 1.5 HP 4 stroke Engine from the same people for the extra $50 although it says it doesn't go as fast I think it will be good for the noise level and less using of fuel. I'm going to make a mount for my kayak hopefully it is not a regretful buy.
I have a Viking nemo, yes it adds some weight but i just lean to one side. It’s not that bad it only weighs like 9kg. I would get the 4 stroke if you are getting one.
how hard is it to replace the propeller and are they readily available, is there a sheer pin or dose it rely on the clutch as a safety, Victor lawn mower years back made two styles of outboard motors, using the good old reliable two stroke motor, they had a propeller unit, and they also had a pump jet unit, the propeller version would push a 14" bond wood boat a little faster than rowing, probably 5 knots at best. I would like to see a 10 hour review, not sure how a free running motor will last whilst under continual load, as it is when pushing through water. good video hope to see more.
There easy to get off (just a pin/screw to remove) but i havnt found a plastic replacement propeller to suit it yet only the alloy ones. Yes a replacement plastic prop is hard to find, but so far mine is still going fine so Ill cross that bridge when or if i ever break this prop.
I see a design flaw already the exhaust is pointing straight up in the Run position so if you're caught in the rain or you leave it outside in the rain your exhaust will fill with water into your piston you get the idea.
I put this exact same motor on my kayak mounted between the outrigger and the kayak. I cut shortened and welded the shaft around 7'' shorter as it was way to long for what I needed. I also put a custom made exhaust extension that points the exhaust out and away from your ears, as you mentioned it is damn noisy. Half of the trouble with this little motor is, the plastic propeller flexes, you can upgrade the propeller to a cast aluminium one for under $30.00 and you will get a little more speed, around 15 kls ph top speed. The motor is very reliable but sucks a lot of juice, on a calm day out in the kayak I will only get around two kilometers out of a tank. This little motor is great for a kayak as it's light, a proper 2 to 4hp outboard motor is way to heavy for my kayak and this no brand is 5 times cheaper.
Big mistake. A 4 cycle has pure crankcase oil and starts and runs so much better. The same companies such as Tomking and Hangkai make 4 cycles. I retarded spark and modified my TK144FC to troll. A hand finish on a metal prop helps.
IT plainly says....do not run it out of the water! Also, do not yank the starter cord. Pull it easy till it engages the pull hard. You obviously have not read the instruction manual. And do NOT run the hell out of it until a breakin period has been done. So, if you have trouble...it is your fault. Read the manual even if it is rather Chinee/english!
When I am on the look out for a new auxiliary engine I have a few questions. Is it noisy,smelly and a shoddily built bag of Chinese shite or is it a Yamaha,Honda,mercury.
have now used it daily since my last reply for a few hours at a time. seems to be holding up well. bashed it on some rocks a few time but haven't damaged it. inly complaint is the gearbox gets quite hot while in use but haven't had any problems with it
I have a 3hp long-tail version of this waiting for me to weld up a boat from three 44g drums. As you say, time will tell. If I need more power, I'll mount two 3hp long-tails in parallel.😂
Quakes Outdoor Adventures air cooled 2 strokes run great at varying high and low rpms. But sustained high rpms generate more more heat than air cooled 2 strokes can dissipate. That’s why pretty much all 2 stroke outboards are water cooled. Because boats require constant high RPM
speed looks about what you'd figure for a $200 weed trimmer motor. I wonder how well a stihl Fs111 motor would do, as they are a 4 stroke power head. My Fs111 will chop through grass and brush that would have almost stopped my 2 stroke ryobi trimmer.
That was one of the DRASTICALLY marked up listings for that 2-stroke outboard, you can find them regularly for $160-$300 (depending on HP, brand and model). Here's a 2.5HP model (probably manufactured in the same facility in China, where almost all of these cheap engines come from) for $170 Shipped: www.ebay.com/itm/Seadog-2Stroke-2-5HP-outboard-motor-engine-superior-performance-propeller-kayak/223164559198?epid=8024243587&hash=item33f5a4ef5e:g:8dwAAOSwQt9brFsT
That boat is designed to plane, since that outboard motor won’t put the boat up on a plane the submerged transom creates a lot of drag ... That boat will run more efficiently in reverse ...!! In reverse I notice hardly any wake ... If that boat had enough weight in the bow to bring the transom close to the waters surface it would be more efficient...!! Just an observation ....
just sayin Maxxy, just because you refer to something as such and such doesn't mean that you should try to get other ppl to say the same, unless you think you own the ppl you want to change. In fact you're the one's that are unusual Maxxy and Tony 305, open your minds just a tiny bit.
hello simon, Connect a pipe (45° copper pipe) to the exhaust outlet and lower it into the water behind the propeller (15cm). exhaust sound decreases (50%)
Look up the front of the hull, yellow life jacket, blue life jacket, wooden oar, anchor and bucket at rear, shocking you missed it LOL. From 11.05 you will see all the above. Cheers.
