I Bought A $400 Electric Outboard From Amazon (DOES IT WORK?)

#hangkai #electricboatmotor
I found this $400 boat motor on amazon that is suppose to be equal to a 5HP gas engine.
I take it out and put it to the test!

We have the 8HP 48V Hangkai, Been running it for 2 yrs now in electric only clubs No issues at all. The one change we made was switching to Lithium batteries. We usually make long runs and Lead acid were good for half a day before losing power, Now we can run full power all day, No worries... .. Love ours

You and your wife fishing, you are living the dream brother!

I have this exact same motor. I got mine off ebay over 2 years ago it was a open box special I paid $250 for it. I use it in salt water for its whole life, I just rinse with fresh water after each use. I have replaced the shaft seal and gear oil once. I also stepped it up to a 67.2 volt battery over the 48 volt it works perfectly. Plus gave some slightly higher rpm, no overheating issues ever even over 90 degrees out in the direct sun. It is a little noisy for electric but full of torque. I think the motor is a great deal. I run a 32 ah 67.2v lithium battery from my surron e bike

This next generation of boat motors is going to be a game changer.

[captaindavejseddon]

I would love to open it up and see what motor and gearbox setup is in that. You could probably bolt the drone to a pole and get nice quiet thrust. Love the fishing boat, nice setup.

[mattcanyon]

So how do you like it now that you've had it for a while? Had it stood the test of time?

[robertwilson]

You will love the longevity of an electric motor and the lack of messy fuels and oils . When you find the right motor for your needs, combine it with a nice lipo battery bank and enjoy the extra range for weight and maybe include a couple hundred watts of solar top up panels and you end up with a pretty functional rig .

[joebradner]

Nice video. I have the same motor. If you notice, it is a 5 hp motor with a 1200 watts power consumption. That does not add up as 746 watts equals 1 horsepower. So this is just over 1 and a half hp. It still works well enough for my light boat and I have two 48 v 100 amp hour batteries so it can go full speed for 8 hours.

[fredastaire]

Everyone comparing to gas CLEARLY missed where you said "electric only lakes". And clearly have never been a member. Just moved back to the SouthEast from Colorado and you got me fired up to join another club. Great video, ignore the haters, and 99% of us cant wait for the update. Have a great day!

[hunterandkara]

Hope you are still loving the boat! To this day my girlfriend is still mad I sold it!! Glad to see its still being loved

[FreedomYak]

Is the noise from the motor or the cooling fan? Next review could you include amp/hour battery specs and what this motor draws for time running so we can get an idea of range? I’m in South Florida so I’m interested to see how it does in the heat also. Thanks for putting out some info on this thing. So hard to tell if these things are junk or not.

[sidneyhardigree]

I've got the same motor and everyone I've talked to that has one says you need to take the prop off and take the plate off behind the prop and add oil to the gears. I did mine and it's been running great. I can get two fishing trips before I recharge!

I use trolling motors to eliminate exhaust smell and noise. I bet twin 86 pound trolling motors would be quieter than this motor, and no heating issues. Also redundancy in case one fails.

[stevehogan]

No music needed. Great information video. No drone needed, ,

The 10hp electric HANGKAI model is listed as 60V 38A(rated current) = 2280w (rated as 2.2KW)

Whilst the 8hp electric HANGKAI model is listed as 48V 50A(rated current) = 2400W (again rated as 2.2KW)

What is the reason for the discrepancy? Is the 10hp model more powerful?

[zacharymorris]

Definitely not 5hp.

1200 watts is 1.6HP.

An ammeter on the battery lead would at least give you an idea of the power consumption before efficiency losses.

[DCFloridasport]

seen a couple of these out there in the bayou, most noticeable was the 300 pounds of batteries needed for a four hour runtime, they also seemed really loud, and the benefit of using a decent trolling motor to sneak up on fish is lost, some might be okay with the tradeoffs

[ikesquirrel]

Batteries are so heavy, it pretty much cancels out any possible advantage. I don't want a pile of lead in my fishing boat and weighing the rear end down.

[larrysacks]

Have you thought about changing the prop and seeing what the impact would be?

[nukimo]

Another vid I saw with a similar looking motor (maybe the same) was also loud. He later found out there’s a sealed oil chamber at the bottom by the propeller. They’re not supposed to ship from China (or anywhere) with it filled. This guy didn’t get a manual or directions that mentioned it. You should check and post if you find the chamber & unscrew it.
