Just an FYI - to fill lube oil in the lower unit... 1st, you remove the top screw and the bottom screw. Then you inject the lube "from the bottom screw hole" until it leaks from the top hole. While continuing to apply pressure from the bottom, you screw in the top screw (this creates a vacuum to hold the oil in the unit). Then you can remove the lube tube from the bottom and put that screw in place. Hope this helps someone...
Most definitely. I appreciate the feedback. All of this is new to me and I’m trying to learn and I appreciate it when people tell me the right way to do it. Thank you
I literally just pulled the trigger on this and purchased it through Amazon. I'll be posting a video on my experience as well. Good luck, everyone. I'm excited.
I have this motor. I have not used it yet. I live in Cleveland, Ohio, so I'm waiting on the weather to break as well, but it started right up can't wait to use it and compare notes
That would be great. It’s so frustrating because there are days where it’s 57 degrees and I wish my boat wasn’t in storage because I would go get it and fish. But maybe another month and we’re good
😃Thank you for reviewing our machine. We deeply appreciate it. Each of our outboard motors undergoes rigorous testing before leaving the factory. Regarding your suggestion about the manual, we have attached a quick start guide to make it more convenient for our customers to use. Your suggestion is very useful, and we would like to communicate with you. How may I contact you?
@@outboards thank you for reaching out. I am thoroughly enjoying this outboard. You can communicate with me using my email lameproductions777@gmail.com.
Thanks for the video! I'm gonna go look for this one now -- I think I missed the price and where ya got it, but I'm pumped to see your long term review!
@@lamefishing6716 I agree! I can save up for a week and get something I'll be frustrated with for a few years, or wait 3 weeks and follow your advice. 🤜🤛
That’s good to hear. I’ve had some towing issues and I’m trying to work it out. So I haven’t had the motor on the water yet. I’m dying to get it out on the water. Sounds like I’m going to get the same experience in my 12 foot Jon boat
Quick question sir, i just got this motor and realized there's no neutral or forward gear? However at the end of your video you started the motor and it was at idle...Does this motor need to be shut off every time I want to stop it? Or does it go into "neutral" if I lower the throttle all the way down?
No you don’t need to shut it off. On mine when you lower the throttle all the way down that is the neutral position. So ya just lower the throttle all the way down
Don't fill from the top port on the gear oil. you must take out both plugs fill from bottom hole put the top plug back in then remove the bottle from the bottom hole and quickly re install the bottom plug! gear oil is too thick to allow air to escape when filled from the top and when it seems like it is full it is actually not due to air bubbles taking up space in the fluid. NO HATE JUST WANT TO SHARE INFO!
@@crowsgarage6669 no problem, and thanks for pointing that out. I’m just trying to figure all this stuff out and figured other people are too, so why not do it together.
I have taken the both plugs out on my outboard. Because the plugs are on the same site I fill when the motor is sideways on table. So I pour oil from the bottom hole and once I see the oil level on the top hole I know it is full. Then I turn the impeller few times to remove any air etc. I have 2 stroke motor and I use normal manual car gearbox oil 70-80w something. Haven't had any problems in 4 years.
@lamefishing6716 I was hoping for a little more speed, but it probably depends on the boat. I have a 14.1 foot Bris kaboat inflatable that weighs about 100 pounds.
Let me know how it goes. I'm the guy that commented earlier. I'm looking at an inflatable. My current boat pushes like a brick. It a sun dolphin American 12@@stevefeldman4996
