Testing a 4HP, 4 Stroke, Jet Pump Outboard Motor

[@tinaswarehouse7919]

WOW Thank you , you really went right at it taking it apart and testing, thank you. WASnt sure on the Reverse still I would have it next to a 15hp Evinrude to replace the trolling motor and HEavy Batteries on a 12' in fresh water, I can rebuikd engines, this is simple and light , I could save around 160lbs in battery weight for the 55lbs trolling motor . Good Job!

I don't leave gas in the tank overnight. The cable got greased pronto. I use 20W50 oil. If you remove, file, and shim the flywheel notch, the motor can run slow under power without overheating. You then change the centrifugal springs for light ones, and you can troll as well as blast. If you must have high speed, take the steel strainer out.

Excellent review, thank you

From what I know about jet drives, the outlet needs to be mostly out of water, when it is at full speed.

Thinking of buying one, thank you!

Great Video. Did you move the motor mount lower down on the drive shaft?

[@sbcode]

Yes 👍

[@stuartcarefoot4804]

I have two of these they don’t need to be deep in the water I have mine set so the jet’s on the surface for use In shallow water

How fast does it go? Did u say it was air cooled? How loud is it?

[@sbcode]

Quieter than a 2 stroke

[@tonyb-50]

What’s the brand name? Where did u purchase it from?

Surprisingly, I cannot find any USA retailers for this. Closest I could find is on eBay. It's 2.5HP versus my 4HP. And also 2 stroke. www.ebay.com/itm/256115720115

That steel plate with the round holes looks awful restrictive..

[@sbcode]

I removed it and its better

[@mechengineer4894]

If it's like their other 4hp outboards, it has the performance of a Honda 2hp outboard.

[@sbcode]

I get 3.5 knots, no wind and tide. Calculating HP depends on which internet calculator you use. I get between 2 and 4. Engine is 55CC. Search for "convert CC to HP". No one can agree proper formula so Hangkai used the largest estimate I suspect.

[@YTBull]

Nice little motor - but you should consider working on your clamping skills ;-)

[@saipanfishingwithden5898]

Thats the one outboard motor

[@Biczycki]

You're testing but have no conclusion, not even an opinion?!

[@bladi-senpai9398]

The propeller version of this is kinda better and has better performance

[@johndeere5455]

@@bladi-senpai9398 I can't use a prop, river is too shallow, that is why one would buy a jet motor
