😃Thank you for reviewing our machine. We deeply appreciate it. Each of our outboard motors undergoes rigorous testing before leaving the factory. Regarding your suggestion about the manual, we have attached a quick start guide to make it more convenient for our customers to use. Your suggestion is very useful, and we would like to communicate with you. How may I contact you?
@@outboards thank you for reaching out. I am thoroughly enjoying this outboard. You can communicate with me using my email lameproductions777@gmail.com.
I literally just pulled the trigger on this and purchased it through Amazon. I'll be posting a video on my experience as well. Good luck, everyone. I'm excited.
Just an FYI - to fill lube oil in the lower unit... 1st, you remove the top screw and the bottom screw. Then you inject the lube "from the bottom screw hole" until it leaks from the top hole. While continuing to apply pressure from the bottom, you screw in the top screw (this creates a vacuum to hold the oil in the unit). Then you can remove the lube tube from the bottom and put that screw in place. Hope this helps someone...
Most definitely. I appreciate the feedback. All of this is new to me and I’m trying to learn and I appreciate it when people tell me the right way to do it. Thank you
I have this motor. I have not used it yet. I live in Cleveland, Ohio, so I'm waiting on the weather to break as well, but it started right up can't wait to use it and compare notes
That would be great. It’s so frustrating because there are days where it’s 57 degrees and I wish my boat wasn’t in storage because I would go get it and fish. But maybe another month and we’re good
Thanks for the video! I'm gonna go look for this one now -- I think I missed the price and where ya got it, but I'm pumped to see your long term review!
@@lamefishing6716 I agree! I can save up for a week and get something I'll be frustrated with for a few years, or wait 3 weeks and follow your advice. 🤜🤛
Quick question sir, i just got this motor and realized there's no neutral or forward gear? However at the end of your video you started the motor and it was at idle...Does this motor need to be shut off every time I want to stop it? Or does it go into "neutral" if I lower the throttle all the way down?
No you don’t need to shut it off. On mine when you lower the throttle all the way down that is the neutral position. So ya just lower the throttle all the way down
That’s good to hear. I’ve had some towing issues and I’m trying to work it out. So I haven’t had the motor on the water yet. I’m dying to get it out on the water. Sounds like I’m going to get the same experience in my 12 foot Jon boat
@lamefishing6716 I was hoping for a little more speed, but it probably depends on the boat. I have a 14.1 foot Bris kaboat inflatable that weighs about 100 pounds.
Let me know how it goes. I'm the guy that commented earlier. I'm looking at an inflatable. My current boat pushes like a brick. It a sun dolphin American 12@@stevefeldman4996
Don't fill from the top port on the gear oil. you must take out both plugs fill from bottom hole put the top plug back in then remove the bottle from the bottom hole and quickly re install the bottom plug! gear oil is too thick to allow air to escape when filled from the top and when it seems like it is full it is actually not due to air bubbles taking up space in the fluid. NO HATE JUST WANT TO SHARE INFO!
@@crowsgarage6669 no problem, and thanks for pointing that out. I’m just trying to figure all this stuff out and figured other people are too, so why not do it together.
I have taken the both plugs out on my outboard. Because the plugs are on the same site I fill when the motor is sideways on table. So I pour oil from the bottom hole and once I see the oil level on the top hole I know it is full. Then I turn the impeller few times to remove any air etc. I have 2 stroke motor and I use normal manual car gearbox oil 70-80w something. Haven't had any problems in 4 years.

He's correct on this... top hole is full level... pump in from bottom hole

I have seeing this amazing machine, live it's amazing!!
Just bought this motor about 2 hrs before seeing this video. Thanks in advance for saving me time on the gear oil.
Not a problem. Just trying to help, after all that’s what TH-cam is for right ?
Got it today! And ...... The temperature dropped to the 20s😢 from 70 to 20s in 5 hrs
@Dmoormans5 ya that sucks, I still got a few weeks before I can go out. Was gonna try next week but doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen.
@@lamefishing6716 7.3 mph on a American 12 jon boat
@@Dmoormans5 good to know. How much weight in the boat ?
Got mine out today. At low idle when the clutch is kicking in does yours sound like the gears are about to fly apart? Until you gas it good
I haven’t had it in the water yet. But mine seems to run smooth on the stand
Thanks for the video! I'm gonna go look for this one now -- I think I missed the price and where ya got it, but I'm pumped to see your long term review!
I got it on Amazon. They bumped the price up a little bit it’s $575 now, but the extra horsepower is worth it.
@@lamefishing6716 I agree! I can save up for a week and get something I'll be frustrated with for a few years, or wait 3 weeks and follow your advice. 🤜🤛
Update please, I just ordered mine

@@lamefishing6716 thank you sir!
Do you have a follow-up video on this? It's been 3 months.
I’m working on it now. Had some towing issues and couldn’t take it out. Finally got that resolved. I should have it finished up this week.
@lamefishing6716 awesome sounds good I'll be watching it
@@scottd8555 ya I want to take it out again and get some better shots on the water then I’ll put out the video
So I've used this motor a lot lately. Looks like I get about 15 miles per gallon and it pushes my American 12 jon boat at about 7.5 mph
That’s good to hear. I’ve had some towing issues and I’m trying to work it out. So I haven’t had the motor on the water yet. I’m dying to get it out on the water. Sounds like I’m going to get the same experience in my 12 foot Jon boat
Looking at this outboard as well, any updates on performance before I place my order?
Not yet, but someone in the comment section took it out with 12 ft. Jon boat and went well. I think they said 7.5 mph and preformed well.
@lamefishing6716 I was hoping for a little more speed, but it probably depends on the boat. I have a 14.1 foot Bris kaboat inflatable that weighs about 100 pounds.
@stevefeldman4996 ya that’s what I said but I might mess with the governor
Let me know how it goes. I'm the guy that commented earlier. I'm looking at an inflatable. My current boat pushes like a brick. It a sun dolphin American 12@@stevefeldman4996
I plan on doing a follow up. I put a hitch on my golf cart at the campground so I can launch the Jon boat. I’ll definitely make an update video soon.
