Testing Temus Cheapest Boat Motor!!!!

In this video, we open and install Temus' cheapest boat motor. We run it through its paces while we do a little fishing things do not go as planned. #temu #temureview #temutest #boatmotor #boatmotortest #boating #gearreview #gearreviews

Thanks for review! The battery for my kayak is 80lbs, the electric motor is probably 25. This would be so much easier

[@MrShawnbfromjersey]

You can get a 50 ah lithium for $100. Super lightweight

[@carlzobel513]

How would this motor do on a river, to go up stream?

[@hetrickoutdoors]

@@carlzobel513 it wouldn't do well in any current unless the boat is very small and light

[@Don-xs5tk]

You have to take off the propeller and add gear oil to the small reservoir under the propeller (per bad instructions).

[@Yelladog78]

The gear box on these ship dry, if you didn't put any in it I'd bet that's your issue

[@jeffwilliams4676]

A great video. Would you do videos on the Dodge Truck again?

[@perkinatorfpv5553]

it sounds like you didn't put gear oil in it

[@Yelladog78]

Bet you're right

[@Scoutss21962]

You burned up the lower unit obviously. My Hangkai runs fine with gear oil. Mine cost $160 ,delivered so I can buy five for the cost I gave for my Suzuki 2.5hp. The Hangkai feels like a two hp, but for the money, not too shabby.

[@LordHelpUs7-7-7]

You have to break the engine in first, cant go full throttle like that even on the best engines for a little bit at least

i had that same motor dont feel bad about accidentally running it with the choke on the choke on off labels on a lot of them were put on wrong at the factory off is choked on is no choke
if you still got the motor try replacing the spark plug those chinese torch brand plugs are notorious for failing in ridicolusly short amount of time i had one in a two stroke weed eater to fail in less than 2 hours time and another to fail in less than 5 hours time
if any damage was incurred because no oil in the gear box its probably junk
also believe it or not those little motors do have a water pump it uses water to cool the cylinder
ill close by saying your motor actually seems to have done better than mine
mine would barely move my john ten ft john boat in the middle of a calm lake and it vibrated my boat so badly that i was concerned that it would damage my boat (brand new at the time) and did lose a rod because of the motor when i disassembled the motor to try find the cause of the vibration (never did find the cause of the vibration) i had quite the surprise the frame that the motor attaches (some people call it a leg) i cast out of some cheap aluminun alloy that is so soft that just torqing the bolts down to maybe ten ft lbs. stripped the bolts out also the tube that carries water from the impellor housing up to the cylinder is cast aluminum and its very thin and very easy to get bent out of shape i suggest if you still have the motor keep it untill it has a major problem then put in the trash those motors arent worth trying to repair even if parts were available be cool and thanks for an honest video

Out of the packaging. Get on the boat and off you go? He certainly didn't put any oil on the gearbox. Did he put oil in the gas 50:1 ? I don't think so... I feel sorry for the engine

[@hetrickoutdoors]

@coredeti I did mix the gas but didn't understand the instructions for the gear oil

[@coredeti]

@@hetrickoutdoors Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you or anything like that. I also bought the engine. I'm completely honest. If I hadn't done my research beforehand, I would probably have made the same mistake. The only problem is that I've seen many other TH-camrs make exactly the same mistake. Basically, I'm sorry that you destroyed your engine for this reason after a few hours of operation. Were you able to repair it? Possibly replaced the gearbox?

[@hetrickoutdoors]

@coredeti you did not insult me, and I have a video of me fixing it.
