It makes a lot of sense due to impact of planet, 4 stroke don't make any smoke, un like our 2 strokes, I have grown up with 2 stroke, however I think if they dropped the prices on 4 stroke and made them more affordable on market, to buying 1 these 4 stroke outbords I would buy one straight away.they are just so expensive. Even for average, guy.
I finally went ahead and bought a 4 stroke yamaha 25hp cause it was the lightest u can get apparently at 126lbs…… and my 1996 mercury 25hp weighs around 110lbs i believe?.. i was real hesitant on buying a 4 stroke because they look sooo damn huge and heavy
you have to have it plugged in to start the motor I agree, but with a tiller and 20hp and calm waters lol if he goes overboard it's probably on purpose.
I couldn't say but its definitely the motor Im considering for a replacement. Just got a 1975 Ouachita flat bottom jon atleast a 14x48 boat. Its got a decent evinrude 9.9 2 stroke on it. Considering the 9.9 suzuki manual start weighs 96lb and the same manual start 20 weighs 97lb I dont see why not.
Hi there. A 20 horsepower outboard should work fine as long as you have more than one person in the boat. If you go out by yourself often, I would say a 15 horsepower would be ideal. With just me in this boat, even though the hp rating of the boat is 25, it is way overpowered and trolls way to fast when fishing. With two to three people, it's the perfect amount of power.
I have seen many videos of this motor and this shaking appears to be within norm. However, it is very quite on idle, it has its many redeeming qualities.
@@alexaustin2527 I agree! I just got a 20 and it seems to vibrate a bit at half throttle. That's the only negative I can say about it. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I run mine on a 16.5ft Alumacraft. It's a 700 lb boat and with my dogs, we add close to another 500 lbs (230, 150, 120). So far I've only seen around 14 mph heading into some pretty good wind and waves. I'm thinking it should be much better on low wind days with flat water.
...and a no show for a shot of the bow of the boat underway?
What pitch is the prop?

Does the propeler ever broken ???
Very quite very impressed.
attach kill cord to you mate, as it will cut the engine if you go overboard, the way you have it tied around itself defeats the object of having one

@@danielhershman7051 should be worn at all times mate, I'am aware it needs to be plugged in to start the engine, I'm also a powerboat instructor bud

I guess u didn't check mph i would like to know
@@CanadianMarineGuy change the prop maybe? I got one coming from online outboards for my 14' lowe
Not very informative!, what speed would have been more useful than explaining how to change gears. Fuel consumption ?
Prop ?
Does this engine supposed to shake that much at idle? Has it always done that? Any issues with it since buying it?

@@alexaustin2527 ok thank you just curious. got me a 15hp Zuki on order... can't wait.

how did you trim it, what hole did you use?
2nd hole up worked best for me!
What size prop are you running
It is the stock 9.25 10 RR
man if you put the TH Marine Mini Jacker on this you would get 30 easily.
I bet! I'll check it out!
I have a 9.9 4 stroke on my 14 foot boat and it does great I live on a rough lake so 20mph is plenty
That's perfect!!
They sound quiet but still can't beat the power to weight ratio of a vintage 2 stroke... Time to change the woke laws
