TESTED - Power Canoe With 2hp Outboard Motor

[@ryansell9578]

Thanks for posting this! I was on the fence on getting an old 2hp evinrude to push my 17' grumman. This was a perfect video showing a canoe with a side mount outboard

[@chodkowski01]

That 2hp is perfect for that size boat.

[@thelostpaddle310]

I’m torn between going for this or a 55lb trolling motor & battery. This works better than I thought it would. Thanks for the video.

[@UserFormelyKnownAs_hjkh]

Im in the same boat (no pun intended). I think the biggest perk of the outboard is not having to rely on battery power. I think the biggest negative would be the noise and lack of a very slow tolling speed. However it would be nice to reserve battery power for electronics and not your motor.

[@yakovbok4982]

@@UserFormelyKnownAs_hjkh have a look at the Honda BF2 or BF2.3. They have a centrifugal clutch and can be run at very low trolling speeds or in neutral. Epic Japanese quality, I just bought one today.

[@crabtrap]

it depends on where you run. a electric motor allows for State Park use and isn't annoying at night to camper. if you do larger rivers and huge lakes obviously a gas would be better. just get both and pick the tool for the job

[@bilboslaughter2229]

Gonna try my 4hp outboard on my 15 1/2 ft canoe with a steel transom I built today :) wish me luck . I got a buddy to sit up front for this test though . Nice video brotha

[@darcycreech6603]

How did the 4 horse do? Is it too heavy for the canoe? Torn between a 2 or 5 horse outboard for my 17ft Grumman with a side mount.

[@zachberman9785]

I sunk my canoe today with a 4hp electric outboard on a 15 foot old town canoe. His advice about the splash guard is necessary. Also not ideal for a lake with waves and chops.

[@carlosaaaaaa3328]

​@@zachberman9785saw someone do it with 4hp but they had an aluminum 17ft canoe

[@saukin767]

Very nice video. I just bought a Johnson 2.3 to throw into my inflatable little boat. Will try this weekend. Excellent video. Tx for posting.

[@mattwaters6987]

Looks like fun. Planning on getting a 2.3 hp next spring. Thx for the great video! 🛶😃

[@dennismartin7429]

The 2.3 Hondas don't have much power, most air cooled don't

[@northernsurvivalbackcountr4986]

That scoots along pretty good 👍 👌

[@oldguy537]

very nice , surprised me , moved very well .. thanks for sharing ..

[@Bowbender8]

I built a similar motor mount for my old 17 Grumman and put a garage sale trolling motor on it. I could do a gas engine like this, put prefer the quiet of the electric.

[@mustang774]

Nice little engine, very fast. I have an electric motor for my canoe but would like a small gas engine like this one.....Take care, Bluefin.

[@runningstreammx]

+mustang774 cheers mate, yeah it moves along well. I think it fast enough to reach spots that otherwise would be too far for a day paddle. It allows me to reach a few extra fishing spots when I'm just out for the day too.

[@drunkedupdiver]

what kind of electric motor do you use?

[@jaredschutz5460]

@@drunkedupdiver I’m in the same boat as mustang (5years later and yes pun intended). I have an Ozark Trail w/ 30lb thrust. Maxes out at about 4mph. Would love to get to 10mph at least

[@planetjahner]

What type of mount is that?

[@carlosaaaaaa3328]

Boat stores are far and my car doesn't tow, would like to get the sundolphin 14ft ss canoe but instead of a trolling motor it's made for I wanted a small hp motor only seeing 2.5 hp on the market not 2 hp they still make these ? Thinking of the Suzuki 2.5

[@zachberman9785]

How far would you recommend that mount placement from the stern of the boat? I sunk may canoe today doing a U turn, however my placement was about 1 foot from the back. Also do you have any recommended splash guard products you mentioned?

[@RoodogGonebushTas]

Nice little set up you have there mate!

[@runningstreammx]

+Roodog Gonebush thanks mate, I found your vid with yours whilst looking around for a motor. They sure do add to the canoe experience.

[@RoodogGonebushTas]

Running Stream Oh ok cool, your not wrong about adding to the experience saves the old arms and shoulders if your going on a long trip thats for sure. I think I may be looking for a bit bigger motor before long that one of mine is so loud pretty well need ear muffs lol, so your motor still going good then ?

[@McGoogger]

Gotta do it with two now, one on each side

[@lastcalloutdoors4474]

Nice video!! Will come in handy for this fishing season

[@squidgyquijabo2422]

No need to add weight up front, what you need is a hydrofoil. It's a fin that attaches just above the propeller and it will level you right out.

[@jackmazza5742]

Is there a specific desired angle that is recommended for a stern mounted engine? Just straight on? I am a welder and have the equipment, Just wondering how it's done. Thanks.

[@jackmazza5742]

Talking about the hydrofoil

[@justinmahoney7843]

It doesn’t veer to one side the way it’s mounted?

[@Next72Hours]

amazing stuff, just watching it now, saw your post on FB and very much looking forward to watching your vids :) phil

[@michaeltoth1624]

Hey mate how do you stop the spray from the outboard when going fast speed like that from going into the canoe?

[@landofthefree1804]

That was a nice ride

[@rainerneumeister5239]

Excellent. Is that a 2 hp or 2.6 ?

[@johnlucas8978]

Is this is an air-cooled 2hp motor? How much does it weigh?

[@GeorgiaNFA]

What mount is that for the motor? I like it.

[@runningstreammx]

Georgia NFA home made 🤟

[@patrickeng4472]

@@runningstreammx could you do a video on it please..I'd like to buy/make a mount for my 17 ft Alumacraft canoe

[@AA-re9fk]

Great video May I ask what type of engine month is it ? Hand made ? What material ? Thanks

[@RezaOLine]

hey.. not too bad.. ill go for 2hp as beginner.. im about to build a boat..

[@JeffMarshall-y9i]

Is that a long or short shaft?

[@barking.dog.productions1777]

What was the final speed? I couldn't understand if he was reading off in knots or kilometers... big speed difference between the two, but the canoe was going plenty fast enough to get you around a lake for a bit of fishing. :)

[@randytricker8585]

With the big difference.. it should be obvious 😅

[@DrLoverLover]

What is k per hour?

[@WolfgangHolzmann]

Please tell me how the Parsun has held up over the years since you posted this. Are they quality motors?

[@pcheng21]

Where can you get a motor mounting bracket like the one you have?

[@thomastoups3451]

I have an old 16' Mohawk that I power with an equally old Johnson 1.5 HP. It moves my canoe well, but not that fast!

[@johnroddy8756]

Is it a long shaft or short shaft ? How's it holding up over time.

[@johnsumner6185]

That setup makes the canoe very tricky to steer.

[@dabomb7887]

How do you like the side motor mount?

[@dimitrimurraytrout8052]

Nice little rig mate. I was considering getting the backwater 15, and curious what you think about what the max. speed might be on that? Ta mate

[@XXMAR5BARXX]

Where can you get that motor mount?

[@othername1000]

Okay, for the rest of us, according to the internet that's about 7.456 mph.

[@safetyinstructor]

You realize _you're_ the minority by far

[@josephlou7124]

How's the motor, is it good?

[@johnpsychedelic1357]

Very nice!

[@hope4surf]

Nice!

[@sailboatbob3969]

suggestion......instead of adding weight to the Bow....why not just tilt the mounting bracket? just figure out what angle at full throttle and then wedge that...less weight means more speed :)

[@michaelsalazar7331]

how do you keep it balanced?

[@runningstreammx]

Michael Salazar just sit a little to the other side

[@colinmartin2974]

It's a bit, I say it's a bit noisy, IT'S A BIT NOISY, did you get that ? IT'S NOISY !!!

[@mikeyvortex6551]

😂🤣

[@Rupeshkumar-bk3wq]

Will anyone tell me that how fast a boat can run by 2hp engine

[@fordrestored4646]

I AM SORRY depends on gears and propeller size... id say 15 knots wide open if you’re lucky

[@thomasmore260]

It depends on a lot of factors. If you attach your 2hp Outboard to the Queen Mary 2 she will move with wind and current no matter what you do to the motor. If you put it to a race kayak with hydrofoils and an aerodynamik canopy for your head and the propeller has a pitch high enough, it should be possible to reach 60 kts. So your boat speed will be something between 0 and 60kts. Waterline length, hull shape and weight are important factors. You have to tell them if you want a better answer.

[@SmokiV8]

Good power, but the Parsun is too loud. Better Choice is a brand like yamaha/ Honda / suzuki and others

[@AndySjostrom]

replace the water for weight with two 5 gallon pales of dry beach sand in the bow for counter balance weight.

[@pete5998]

why?

[@evandickson19]

Jesse Peterson I think it’s heavier.

[@runningstreammx]

Water is best to use as if you capsize anything but water will take the canoe to the bottom.

[@sailinggreenpearl2571]

looks like fun, but so loud....

Oh cool
