2.0HP 2 Stroke Petrol Outboard Engine Motor review for Fishing Boat Kayak

Review of my eBay purchase 2.0HP 2 Stroke Petrol Power Outboard Engine to suit a small Fishing Boat or Kayak. I Paid $206 Aussie dollars delivered for this one.

I have one of those motors, and I have been using it for years on my pontoon boat. I plumbed in a secondary gas tank on mine and it draws the gas in as I go so there is never a need to stop and fuel. That was the biggest pain ever since the tank on the motor is tiny. I have a video about it on my channel, however, it is in Russian. If you would like I can make a video about how I made up a secondary jerry can gas tank. There is no electricity involved it just works on suction, and it works awesome!!

I’ve always said to myself “ Who buys these things”...

My questions has been answered!

The smirk on your face during the 1st launch was “Priceless”

“Liked and subscribed” thanks for the post

Worth every Penny and more! I’ve had the Hangkai 4T model for four years now and it’s never once let me down. 👍🏻👍🏻

Doing a reach around while at sea... now that's a true sailor!

I put this exact same motor on my kayak mounted between the outrigger and the kayak.
I cut shortened and welded the shaft around 7'' shorter as it was way to long for what I needed. I also put a custom made exhaust extension that points the exhaust out and away from your ears, as you mentioned it is damn noisy.
Half of the trouble with this little motor is, the plastic propeller flexes, you can upgrade the propeller to a cast aluminium one for under $30.00 and you will get a little more speed, around 15 kls ph top speed. The motor is very reliable but sucks a lot of juice, on a calm day out in the kayak I will only get around two kilometers out of a tank.
This little motor is great for a kayak as it's light, a proper 2 to 4hp outboard motor is way to heavy for my kayak and this no brand is 5 times cheaper.

Whipper snipper is a new one for me. I've heard weed wacker or weed whipper. I've always been partial to edge trimmer, but I'm adopting Whipper sniper from now on.

I opted for the 2 stroke wet version because the exhaust goes down under the waterline so it’s significantly quieter.. not fast by any means but it’ll do the job

Well after a year, how do you like the little varmint? Has it lasted? It sounds like you are being chased by a swarm of angry bees.

That's the same engine/clutch assembly I have on my post hole auger and it has worked flawlessly for 10 years. Just run the gas out of it at the end of the season so the carb doesn't get gummy.

The motor beats the hell out of rowing for $200.Some earplugs would make it quieter.

I see a design flaw already the exhaust is pointing straight up in the Run position so if you're caught in the rain or you leave it outside in the rain your exhaust will fill with water into your piston you get the idea.

Good video mate but one recommendation would be to let the brand new engine warm up a little before you start cranking on the throttle

[benhawke]

I'd put a quieter muffler on it, but it looks good. Good vid.

Good to have a review in English thumbs up from Scotland

As far as the choke, [ | ] would be open, [ -- ] would be closed. Close it to start the engine cold, open it after a minute or two. I do miss AUS, I was stationed on the RAAF base in Darwin, NT when I was in the USMC back in '93. Loved it there.

I was looking at the 1.5 HP 4 stroke Engine from the same people for the extra $50 although it says it doesn't go as fast I think it will be good for the noise level and less using of fuel. I'm going to make a mount for my kayak hopefully it is not a regretful buy.

Thank you for the time and effort to make this video

Small air cooled 2 strokes hate constant high RPM.
I’d be impressed to see how long this engine would last in this sort of application.

[jamesexploringonline]

Can see a good reason for the speed your able to obtain, I think it has alot more to do with your aerodynamic hair cut.
I'm certain should you of removed you sunnys you would gain more speed.
Over all great presentation, definitely good value for money.

We race these motors but you need to remove the air cleaner & spark arrestor from the exhaust & run it on 100:1. We get an extra
1/2 a knot.
