Hangkai 6hp 6 month in!

Testing the cheapest boat motor on amazon, ebay, alibaba $700 compared to a mercury outboard. I have put many hours with zero problems.

[@sftatat]

Had my 6hp about 6 months. Still looks new, been out to sea about 8 times. Starts first pull every time. Loving it. £440. HAD SUZUKI 9.9HP before it which was tad quieter but just too heavy to lift on and off boat and walk 100 yards up beach at low tide.. Just throw this on my shoulder, all I can manage at 55.

[@danpolo8829]

Thanks for the update. Glad to see your Hangkai is hanging in there.

[@creatingkansas]

Your review was excellent. Cool that you included the hummingbird information. Good variety of camera angles. Thanks!

[@SM-Tackle]

I am getting better. I stopped using a gopro because of poor audio, and always uploading new things!

[@timhuggins9366]

Hell yeah Shevy! Ive had my 12hp Hangkai for a while now and still running great these videos are why i bought one and dam glad i did for 1200 bucks cant go wrong. Ur the man bud keep up the great work!!!

[@SM-Tackle]

Man I appreciate it alot I hope to have more coming. Thanks for the support and hope you have good luck out of your hangkai there is a Facebook group for hangkais

[@markedly2245]

I have the same engine. One thing to note, I only run 93 octane gas from Shell in it. I was running 90 octane rec fuel (no ethanol) and it would constantly putter out at died...could be a bad batch of rec fuel, but the shell 93 runs great.

[@kylegallup8456]

Was yours the 4-stroke?

[@user-zm2wv9ze7y]

I've had mine for a few years and beat on it an it's great for the price. Nice and quiet to. I run true fuel witch is expensive but it's non ethanol and never have carb issues

[@stephengalvan7722]

Bad ass can't wait for mine to come

[@TheMak3itreign]

Imagining what to engines would be like on yours 😍

[@jbreefer148]

I have a 13' Saturn inflatable boat and I'm looking at getting the 6hp over the 12. Because most of the time I'm the only one who is using the boat for fishing, but with my family I just want to have it for a comfy cruiser. Thanks

[@SM-Tackle]

It should be just right! I have recently upgraded to a 25hp and I think think the 12 would be a good option too can run the same speed with less rps so it would be a little quiter.

[@kiheirc3195]

Thanks bro!

[@truckacabrarex9831]

Nice dude been wanting a boat and this motor seems to be a bargain when you consider the price of the competition

[@mazman8343]

Fair play 👍

[@TheMak3itreign]

Dude I just got mine. I'm putting it on a little bit bigger boat. I'm really tempted to use two and run staring cables. Really curious how it will go. However I'm tearing out some of my flooring and gonna rebuild it lighter then repaint so I have a ways to go before mine sees the water in full force.

[@SM-Tackle]

I had considered getting the 18hp. There was such little Info out about it, though. I have an old Johnson 25 I am running now.

[@abeabe9000]

How was the motor

[@SM-Tackle]

Good

[@THe9-3MAnIaC]

I guess that the Hangkai will last for at least 10 years, that's the minimum amount Good video! Keep it up 👍

[@MrDouglas3815]

Everything looks good but fire extinguisher should be more in hand

[@jakefountain8273]

What kind of rod holder is that on top of the side rail!? I need one of those!

[@SM-Tackle]

I designed and 3d printed it

[@SM-Tackle]

www.basspro.com/shop/en/millennium-marine-spyderlok-rod-transport-rack I really liked these but didnt wanna spend the cheese on them.

[@jamesrobertson132]

if yours came with a plastic prop (cheap) swap it out with a metal one the plastic will bend and warp back which equals loss of power ...... but ya great 6mo follow up vid review

[@SM-Tackle]

It's aluminum. I believe has held up good.

[@tractorguy97]

Hey how deep does it have to be at least to get it trolling around?

[@SM-Tackle]

not deep at all it has a show water position too

[@jordanmiltenberger2150]

Heard lots of negative comments about these motors are they as bad as they say or is it worth spending the money on

[@SM-Tackle]

Id give it a try. I love mine its not the fastest but it is super reliabable

[@Cavanpikefishing]

Hey thanks for the vid is it heavy to lift? I'm looking for a 6hp

[@SM-Tackle]

No it's pretty light and having the built in gas tank would make it a good portable option for people that have to take the motor off often

[@Cavanpikefishing]

@@SM-Tackle thanks man for your input have you got a link?

[@SM-Tackle]

I'm not a affiliate I order off ebay tho from one that said us stock and got it with a week tho! If you wanna support my content tho , you can hit the like hit the like button and subscribe 😉

[@charleshisel5283]

Can you use this motor to charge batteries on the boat ?

[@SM-Tackle]

No unfortunately

[@8AFilmz]

is it air cooled, or water?

[@SM-Tackle]

Water

[@paytonfleeger8991]

Still have this motor? How’s it held up?

[@SM-Tackle]

It did great for almost 2 years and I let a friend use it and it came off his boat in a pretty deep spot

[@ElVeteran44]

Where you buy it?

[@SM-Tackle]

Ebay

[@windwrightmage]

I see this motor online brand new for $80 that's insane

[@SM-Tackle]

That's probably a scam it's more like 700

[@hokiedokie]

How much does the motor weigh?

[@SM-Tackle]

I probably should weight it I have been asked so many times, but just guessing I'd say about 20 30 lbs lbs. It's pretty easy to put on my boat by myself and I can carry it easy with one hand.

[@user-yj4iz5uc8t]

21kilograms

[@cliff1422]

Probably push a 12ft inflatable without issue

[@paulreportingliv]

Is this a famous two-stroke?

[@SM-Tackle]

Yeah I don't know about famous ,but they are the cheapest.

[@paulreportingliv]

@@SM-Tackle so is it two or four stroke?

[@SM-Tackle]

2 stroke

[@JRMSweeps]

worth it???

[@SM-Tackle]

Yes! It's been a great motor!

[@Nelsonelik]

🥰😁👍👍👍

[@aratutec6881]

Try a smaller pitch propeller Will do a little better

[@SM-Tackle]

I am really considered getting there 12hp I have some subscribers that got it ,and have had good luck out of it.

[@jckdnls9292]

Salt water ?

[@SM-Tackle]

No, sir, tennessee rivers.

[@jean-lucflanquart1774]

Bonjour, j'ai le même moteur et la vis de richesse du carburateur a bougé. Depuis le moteur refuse de démarrer. Pouvez vous m'aider ?

[@darrinminkiewicz6714]

Still running?????

[@SM-Tackle]

I'm sure it would be unfortunately I let a friend borrow it and it came off his boat and is about 30ft down in a river

[@darrinminkiewicz6714]

@@SM-Tackle that sucks sorry to hear that man thats all bad

[@SM-Tackle]

@@darrinminkiewicz6714 but it put many hours on it. I'm running a 25 now but if it went down I would consider getting another

[@darrinminkiewicz6714]

I am tempted to give it a shot i had the coleman 5hp didnt like it. Seemed like it was more. Like a 3hp instead of a 5 went the same speed as my minn kota on my 12 foot alluminum with just me and 30lbs of gear and im only 270 with no deck in my boat its bare so not too much weight

[@danpolo8829]

Looking at a Suzuki 20hp, but a Hangkai 18hp would be half the cost…hmm

[@SM-Tackle]

I know there wasn't much info on the 18 when I bought the 6.
