Hangkai 6hp outboard on the water testing

Finishing the break in and testing the 6hp 2 stroke Chinese motor that's probably the cheapest outboard money can buy!!!

[@Htownrule]

I purchased one last night after watching this video, I added a 4 year warranty the total came to $799.48 with tax.. I hope it arrives by the expected delivery date🤞🏾

Hello... Can you give an update on how the motors working out? Any problems, any issues?

[@dfbra4377]

Where can u order parts like the shear pin

[@stefanosgarbi2936]

Considering to buy one. How about consumption ?

[@SaltyMcBoatFace]

This checks out , mine does 14mph on a 10ft fiberglass dingy with a cathedral hull , probably around 400kg fully loaded up

[@SM-Tackle]

Hope it helped give you a idea of what to expect when I got mine there wasn't much documentation on them

@@SM-Tackle ive actually had mine around 4 years now (i have a video of it on my channel ) , been a really good little engine , still working , only problems ive had were the pin for the gear selector snapping & snapping the pullcord , the latter being my friend being heavy handed

[@salmeli2992]

have you had two people on this boat with this motor yet? how fast did it go?

[@SM-Tackle]

About 7 mph my boat is pretty heavy tho

[@THe9-3MAnIaC]

It could be that you have to adjust the fuel / air ratio, so it's running smooth, it was a little rough near the idle but it maybe has to do with breaking in. Nice video btw

[@THe9-3MAnIaC]

And I'm glad that you didn't tilt the engine fully down, that increases fuel consumption and lower the speed a bit

[@SM-Tackle]

Yea I was thinking that maybe about 50 hours it'll be running alot smother then when I first started it. My Chinese Enduro really smoothed out at about 500 miles I tried a few different tilts its really easy to change it on the water with out light the engine is.

[@SM-Tackle]

I'm super anxious to put some more time on this thing I wish this cold weather would blow out.

[@THe9-3MAnIaC]

@@SM-Tackle Yes, cold weather isn't my coup of tea, here in Sweden is about 7-°C. And I really look forward to the summer 😀

[@erikblaise1]

Hows the motor running? I got the 4stroke 6hp hangkai and took it out today after breaking in and it just has no power it seems. I have it on a 13' Ascend 133x kayak. I think I'm going to return and get the 2stroke

[@devinallen827]

Great video. How has it been working for you? Would you say it has enough power for a 14 foot aluminum v-hull with 2 people plus gear?

[@SM-Tackle]

It does pushes my decked 14 vhull with 2 adults and gear about 7 mph. You won't win any races but it will get you there.

Have you tried raising the motor? My twin 1.75 gamefishers do about that on a 10 footer.

Alot of the vibration when I start to get on it in the bimini top. I'm gonna have to make some rubber spacers for it

@@SM-Tackle 4 strokes are generally much less noisy, get more bang and more quiet. You just gotta mind your fuel ratios like 2 stroke just for the 4.

This boat is pretty heavy has about a couple hundred lbs in the build of the decking and electrical stuff plus fishing gear 2 deep cycle battery's. I'd say all together without the hangkai about 600 lbs or something.

[@jasonduncan6398]

How lng did this motor last i see the video was osted 2 years ago just wondering how its held up

[@SM-Tackle]

I had it aboutb2 years on the 2nd seasong I had let a friend try it on his john boat and he didn't fasten it down good and it came on after hitting a stump and he didn't have a safety chain on it. It was a great little motor they are a little under powered compared to good name brands the 6 is more like a 4 or 5 hp but ran great and always started easy. Would definitely buy another in a pinch. Would always see what you find find localy name brand first tho.

[@jasonduncan6398]

SM-Tackle thanks for the info I'm thinking about going and looking at a new 6 hp Suzuki tomorrow was thinking about one of these to finish out the summer with but they are out of stock anyway . Still may try one later. What I really want is a 9.9 of some kind. I have a 3.9 mercury now but it's an older motor and has been randomly dying on me it has been starting right back up but am afraid to go very far in it but I appreciate your info
