2.0HP 2 Stroke Petrol Outboard Engine Motor review for Fishing Boat Kayak

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.

[@akm5611]

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!!

do you still need to mix oil for the 4T?

[@pacificoestore2932]

How can I have it

[@fellovercliff4525]

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.

[@flippingandfixingatvsutvs6188]

Were can you get a propeller

[@mikecorleone6797]

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.

[@mark_osborne]

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.

[@crpth1]

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. :-)

[@loooseunit]

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 .

[@crpth1]

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. ;-)

[@lonnieadams7841]

As far as the choke, [ | ] would be open, [ -- ] would be closed. Close it to start the engine cold, open it after a minute or two. I do miss AUS, I was stationed on the RAAF base in Darwin, NT when I was in the USMC back in '93. Loved it there.

[@bipedalhominid6815]

[@Perry-ck1hv]

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.

[@josarebelo8583]

its a china dolly- not meant to putt you in air?= beat half price your trolling motor? 10 times faster?

[@1973chrisg]

Good video mate but one recommendation would be to let the brand new engine warm up a little before you start cranking on the throttle

[@alanwareham7391]

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

The motor beats the hell out of rowing for $200.Some earplugs would make it quieter.

[@dennisyoung4631]

Good. It has smoke. Not smoking scares me with these!

[@breytonfilms6801]

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.

[@noturaveragewatcher]

breytonfilms did you end up getting it? If so how'd it go? I was thinking of getting the same one for my kayak

[@breytonfilms6801]

noturaveragewatcher really good I can send you some pictures if you send me a messages 0452179216

[@noturaveragewatcher]

breytonfilms what size kayak you got? And does it add to much weight to one side or you don't notice it once your in the kayak?

[@breytonfilms6801]

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.

[@benhawke7231]

I'd put a quieter muffler on it, but it looks good. Good vid.

[@marinshop2631]

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%)

[@pcaravaca]

Great review ! Thanks man ! Thinking on getting one of those

[@Fabiano66]

I purchased this motor new, this is not a salt water motor to begin with, a week after having it the throttle cable broke, one of the mounting brackets broke and the exhaust came loose after four hours of use.

[@captlarry-3525]

of course this is a large weed whacker motor, with a bicycle twist grip control, and an OB lower unit. Tanaka made an even smaller OB ( 30 cc) using what was then a bicycle motor ( bike bug) in the 70's. The noise is opressive.. but it works.

[@WmNatali-md1if]

Great kayak for the price. Others spent 3x the price to get exactly what I have in this floater.

[@lindaseymour4742]

We race these motors but you need to remove the air cleaner & spark arrestor from the exhaust & run it on 100:1. We get an extra 1/2 a knot.

[@leroythehooker]

Nice, thank for the info

[@abelflores3752]

Goes fast enough to get u where ur going

[@KenthGustafsson300]

You should built so the exhaust goes down in the water near the propeller then the noise gets smaller

[@jamesexploringonline872]

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.

[@simonnadjarian8262]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@rudehr]

It's closer to 5hp. It's a "Demon" weedwhacker engine, made in Poland. It can easily be replaced by a Honda 4- stroke motor, they' ll fit.

[@josh3570]

How do you know it’s the demon engine. There’s 100s of these engines

[@joostderidder]

Nice info here. Thanks. I suppose that this would be more efficient with a better propeller. (Aluminium)

[@fishingsauce]

I have a eBay purchase 4 stroke, 1.5HP Petrol Power Outboard Engine and mounted on my kayak. Seller says 20km/h with 3 people... I must weight more than 5 people because my kayak was going at 8km/h on full throtle. I use watersnake 24lb with 50ah lithium battery now and it travells at 6km/h. much more peacefull.

[@scotthaddad563]

Well after a year, how do you like the little varmint? Has it lasted? It sounds like you are being chased by a swarm of angry bees.

[@AdrianoCROST]

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 !

[@johnnyfudpucker6187]

I think this is just a weed eater motor... They are revved without a load all the time

[@caninparks4928]

Small air cooled 2 strokes hate constant high RPM. I’d be impressed to see how long this engine would last in this sort of application.

[@caninparks4928]

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

[@donnybrasco1601]

I have a 43cc husqvarna weedwacker and i can rev it to the max 24/7 and it loves it. Depends on what quality masjien u use.

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.😂

Hi,there are motors make for all sorts of applications.If you think it works for you then it's a great buy.

[@randekel9082]

Loved your explanation and video

[@dwightstewart7181]

The biggest problem with this motor is the noise (it's loud - too loud for noise restricted areas) and low performance versus price. Top speed, not the slower continuous cruising speed, averages about 3mph - about as fast as the typical person walks. Could take a long time to cross that lake or travel that river.

[@joostderidder]

thanks for the info. I think that a metal prop would do a better job.

[@hassanelmaghraby7237]

Very nice ... but can you add another crop to go back? A brass tube should be placed in the form of an elbow in the exhaust area to protect your face from the heat and smoke. Very nice, my hands. I hope to get this but I am now in Saudi Arabia.

[@newdogatplay]

neat but way to loud maybe u can set up exaust to go under the water to reduce noise,may interfere with ur 180 stearing but be worth it i think cut an weld up pipe an baffles to drop in the under water line

I would put a more quiet exaust and point it downwards so when it rain I’m ok

[@999benhonda]

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.

[@mikeobrien9829]

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

[@bobbyowen8716]

It,s the revs. Nothing you can do to make that pleasant for cruising.

[@mikeobrien9829]

@@bobbyowen8716 Nothing you can do can make the Merc pleasant sounding either lol , the saltwater series is just shocking for noise

[@markthornton1965]

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.

[@simonnadjarian8262]

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.

[@tomjones7593]

I've ordered one-delivery awaited. Thanks for a good review I don't expect high quality or quietness but; I only need it for fishing a tidal bay and some freshwater lake fishing in the UK; I wont be trolling so I think I can stand the noise for the time required to get me to my fishing spots I want lightness so I have chosen 2 stroke over 4 stroke I want simplicity-so 2 stroke again I don't think it's reasonable to expect a cheap chinese motor to survive saltwater use if it's water cooled so I wanted air-cooling (I've owned Johnson/Evinrude/Tohatsu/British Seagull etc over the years) Lastly-and this remains to be seen- since much of my fishing is done in shallow water the absence of an underwater exhaust should mean less noise/disturbance (To the fish !) - though obviously not as good as an electric motor We shall see! If anyone wants an update click a like/reply and I will try to oblige

[@trevking3772]

Add a briggs lawn mower buttet muffler - chinese knockoffs cheap as chips & work !. Trev NZ ps owned a Tanaka 1.2hp - anyone want a repo prop for 2.5hp Trev

[@trevking3772]

PS...noticed the exhaust is exiting upwards - take to General engineers or fab a pipe to exit with a little muffler or better a tuned expansion chamber to route down & exit under water like TAS Tanaka 1.2 or 2.5 hp. T☺ u should be able to build 1 & quietin down significantly ..- i'd say its making just over 1 hp - tell by size of prop & gearing. Cheer mats Trev.do what i suggest & youll get results hearing u can't get back - that around 100 db full throttle - too much.

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 ....
