Surface drive through the lowest creek(new 500cc motor)

[@christianousa9193]

Is that the 13-16hp kit? The 500cc just bolted there perfectly?

[@Raggedjons24.7]

@@christianousa9193 yep

[@j44881]

Informative video thanks, I’ve got a mud-skipper long tail. Did you encounter any large rocks in the river?

[@Raggedjons24.7]

@@j44881 nah no rocks trees are what you have to watch for

[@j44881]

When the lower unit hits the submerged tree stump does it give way (ie pop up) or no?

[@Raggedjons24.7]

@@j44881 yeah just like an outboard with the trim unlocked it’ll kick up

[@joeymichaels2349]

Does that motor still have a governor in it?

[@Raggedjons24.7]

@@joeymichaels2349 yeah

[@DTBOutdoors]

I’ve been looking at this same motor too!! I think I could make it a beast! I wish I would’ve known about the 500cc duromax before I bought my 459 Predator!
I just put a nr racing carb on it and picked up a little more speed, hitting 28mph

[@Raggedjons24.7]

Everything I was expecting and some

[@kylehaught7431]

What size boat are you running that motor on?

[@Raggedjons24.7]

The boat in the video is a 1436

[@ngk330]

I’ve got a 16 foot extra wide extra deep… think this would push me 15mph ?

[@Raggedjons24.7]

We did 24 on this 1436 with gear

[@AwDaleYeah]

It probably would, but if you’re gonna get the surface drive kit and engine separately, you can get bigger engines for just a few hundred more dollars.

[@ngk330]

@@AwDaleYeah ended up getting a beaver dam long tail and predator 670

[@AwDaleYeah]

@ hell yeah you like it?

[@ngk330]

@@AwDaleYeah haven’t got it on the water yet, been super cold here in iowa. I’ll try to remember to report back in a few months haha

Did you use the clutch delete kit?

@@josephbang8653 nah

[@josephbang8653]

[@bp30656]

How does the clutch delete kit work? Didn’t know they had that

[@jeffharvey2135]

[@Curbsurfer01]

​@@Raggedjons24.7did you have any issues with getting the belt on and tightened correctly ? I have same kit with predator 459cc

[@Raggedjons24.7]

@@Curbsurfer01 no you just have to have the four bolts in the middle loose and the two above your clutch loose

[@don_bramermusic7865]

That surface drive kit fit perfect for motor even though it's rated higher HP?

[@CBcompound]

What kinda speeds you getting with it

[@Raggedjons24.7]

On that boat I been like 23-24 with two guys I got a 1236 im putting this motor on should be alittle faster
