Had my 6hp about 6 months. Still looks new, been out to sea about 8 times. Starts first pull every time. Loving it. £440. HAD SUZUKI 9.9HP before it which was tad quieter but just too heavy to lift on and off boat and walk 100 yards up beach at low tide.. Just throw this on my shoulder, all I can manage at 55.
I've had mine for a few years and beat on it an it's great for the price. Nice and quiet to. I run true fuel witch is expensive but it's non ethanol and never have carb issues
Hell yeah Shevy! Ive had my 12hp Hangkai for a while now and still running great these videos are why i bought one and dam glad i did for 1200 bucks cant go wrong. Ur the man bud keep up the great work!!!
Man I appreciate it alot I hope to have more coming. Thanks for the support and hope you have good luck out of your hangkai there is a Facebook group for hangkais
I have the same engine. One thing to note, I only run 93 octane gas from Shell in it. I was running 90 octane rec fuel (no ethanol) and it would constantly putter out at died...could be a bad batch of rec fuel, but the shell 93 runs great.
I have a 13' Saturn inflatable boat and I'm looking at getting the 6hp over the 12. Because most of the time I'm the only one who is using the boat for fishing, but with my family I just want to have it for a comfy cruiser. Thanks
It should be just right! I have recently upgraded to a 25hp and I think think the 12 would be a good option too can run the same speed with less rps so it would be a little quiter.
Where'd you get the fuel tank and gas line from? I thought the 2 stroke doesn't come with it from the factory... just the internal tank with the option to hook up an external one. Can you clarify?
Dude I just got mine. I'm putting it on a little bit bigger boat. I'm really tempted to use two and run staring cables. Really curious how it will go. However I'm tearing out some of my flooring and gonna rebuild it lighter then repaint so I have a ways to go before mine sees the water in full force.
Did the vibration ever improve on your motor? I see there are some that have worse vibration than others, but im 5 hours into the break in period and it vibrates so much I feel like the boat will vibrate apart. Just wasnt sure if after the break in period and the longer you use it, the vibration gradually decreases.
@SM-Tackle ok thanks. Yeah I know this motor is basically the same as a mercury or Tohatsu and they vibrate as well. Johnson and Evinrude motors are fantastic motors. It sad that they went out of business. I'll send an update once I get some hours on this engine. Thanks.
@SM-Tackle Update - been running it for 12 hours now, finishing off the 25:1 gas that's in the tank then will go to 50:1. Got 3 gallons of gas with the 25:1 and I wasn't expecting this engine to be super fuel efficient, but it does excellent on gas. Running it at half throttle, the vibrations are very tolerable now. No aggressive vibrations anymore. 3/4 throttle still a little shaky but getting better. Probably will pur once I get about 20 hours on the engine, yet I may not get that many by October, cause then I'll need to put it in storage for the winter. So far, on the 14 ft aluminum boat that we have, with me and someone else, it goes about 8 to 9.5 mph, and with 3 people we get about 5 to 7 mph. Me alone I get about 11 mph, so not bad. So far very solid motor. Very happy with it.

if yours came with a plastic prop (cheap) swap it out with a metal one the plastic will bend and warp back which equals loss of power ...... but ya great 6mo follow up vid review
I am tempted to give it a shot i had the coleman 5hp didnt like it. Seemed like it was more. Like a 3hp instead of a 5 went the same speed as my minn kota on my 12 foot alluminum with just me and 30lbs of gear and im only 270 with no deck in my boat its bare so not too much weight
I probably should weight it I have been asked so many times, but just guessing I'd say about 20 30 lbs lbs. It's pretty easy to put on my boat by myself and I can carry it easy with one hand.

Your review was excellent. Cool that you included the hummingbird information. Good variety of camera angles. Thanks!
I am getting better. I stopped using a gopro because of poor audio, and always uploading new things!

Was yours the 4-stroke?

Bad ass can't wait for mine to come
Everything looks good but fire extinguisher should be more in hand
Why bro?

I had considered getting the 18hp. There was such little Info out about it, though. I have an old Johnson 25 I am running now.
How was the motor
Good
Hey how deep does it have to be at least to get it trolling around?
not deep at all it has a show water position too
I guess that the Hangkai will last for at least 10 years, that's the minimum amount
Good video! Keep it up 👍

It doesn't ever get as smooth as a johnson or evinrude. I would say it gets a little better. I would just find a good rpm that is the smoothest.

Imagining what to engines would be like on yours 😍
Nice dude been wanting a boat and this motor seems to be a bargain when you consider the price of the competition
Can you use this motor to charge batteries on the boat ?
No unfortunately
Still have this motor? How’s it held up?
It did great for almost 2 years and I let a friend use it and it came off his boat in a pretty deep spot
@SM-Tac😢😢kle
What kind of rod holder is that on top of the side rail!? I need one of those!
I designed and 3d printed it
www.basspro.com/shop/en/millennium-marine-spyderlok-rod-transport-rack I really liked these but didnt wanna spend the cheese on them.
Is this a famous
two-stroke?
Yeah I don't know about famous ,but they are the cheapest.
@@ShevyMcC so is it two or four stroke?
2 stroke
is it air cooled, or water?
Water
Heard lots of negative comments about these motors are they as bad as they say or is it worth spending the money on
Id give it a try. I love mine its not the fastest but it is super reliabable
Hey thanks for the vid is it heavy to lift? I'm looking for a 6hp
No it's pretty light and having the built in gas tank would make it a good portable option for people that have to take the motor off often
@@ShevyMcC thanks man for your input have you got a link?
I'm not a affiliate I order off ebay tho from one that said us stock and got it with a week tho! If you wanna support my content tho , you can hit the like hit the like button and subscribe 😉
@@ShevyMcCCan it be put on its side in the boot of my car with fuel remaing in on board tank?
Or does it need to be drained.
if yours came with a plastic prop (cheap) swap it out with a metal one the plastic will bend and warp back which equals loss of power ...... but ya great 6mo follow up vid review
It's aluminum. I believe has held up good.
Salt water ?
No, sir, tennessee rivers.
Still running?????
I'm sure it would be unfortunately I let a friend borrow it and it came off his boat and is about 30ft down in a river
@@ShevyMcC that sucks sorry to hear that man thats all bad
@@darrinminkiewicz6714 but it put many hours on it. I'm running a 25 now but if it went down I would consider getting another
I am tempted to give it a shot i had the coleman 5hp didnt like it. Seemed like it was more. Like a 3hp instead of a 5 went the same speed as my minn kota on my 12 foot alluminum with just me and 30lbs of gear and im only 270 with no deck in my boat its bare so not too much weight
@@ShevyMcC😮😮
worth it???
Yes! It's been a great motor!
Where you buy it?
Ebay
Thanks bro!
How much does the motor weigh?
I probably should weight it I have been asked so many times, but just guessing I'd say about 20 30 lbs lbs. It's pretty easy to put on my boat by myself and I can carry it easy with one hand.
21kilograms
Try a smaller pitch propeller
Will do a little better
I am really considered getting there 12hp I have some subscribers that got it ,and have had good luck out of it.
Probably push a 12ft inflatable without issue
I see this motor online brand new for $80 that's insane
That's probably a scam it's more like 700
Fair play 👍
Bonjour, j'ai le même moteur et la vis de richesse du carburateur a bougé. Depuis le moteur refuse de démarrer. Pouvez vous m'aider ?
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
🥰😁👍👍👍
Looking at a Suzuki 20hp, but a Hangkai 18hp would be half the cost…hmm
I know there wasn't much info on the 18 when I bought the 6.
