I purchased one last night after watching this video, I added a 4 year warranty the total came to $799.48 with tax.. I hope it arrives by the expected delivery date🤞🏾
It could be that you have to adjust the fuel / air ratio, so it's running smooth, it was a little rough near the idle but it maybe has to do with breaking in. Nice video btw
Yea I was thinking that maybe about 50 hours it'll be running alot smother then when I first started it. My Chinese Enduro really smoothed out at about 500 miles I tried a few different tilts its really easy to change it on the water with out light the engine is.
Hows the motor running? I got the 4stroke 6hp hangkai and took it out today after breaking in and it just has no power it seems. I have it on a 13' Ascend 133x kayak. I think I'm going to return and get the 2stroke
@@SM-Tackle ive actually had mine around 4 years now (i have a video of it on my channel ) , been a really good little engine , still working , only problems ive had were the pin for the gear selector snapping & snapping the pullcord , the latter being my friend being heavy handed
Hey man thanks for the video, ive purchased a 4 stroke 6.5 earlier today it should be here next friday. Im gonna add my jon boat build, my 1st youtube post to help the hangkai crowd out, thanks for sharing. I subscribed you and liked your vid, maybe when i do mine youll give it a view i hope. Shout out from central NC
I'll keep a eye out for it man. I been so impressed with think little engine I have considered buying the 18 hp. Try and show the difference you notice because I was curious as why the 4 stroke was a couple hundred more
@@SM-Tackle 4 strokes are generally much less noisy, get more bang and more quiet. You just gotta mind your fuel ratios like 2 stroke just for the 4. Im gonna try to address what seems to be gaining a lotta questions like this, im a regular working guy, how can a poor man still be fly on a jon Boat? When everything to even start seems so freaking overwhelming? Im gonna do like you man and a few others ive been watching, try to get a little youtube channel for showing off the best priced everything, how to install everything, wiring light's etc. I got my confirmation from ebay this mornin said it be here the 26th so man im ready to be breakin it in
@@chasemurphy1357 not on the water yet, no. Running in barrel yes. I have to upload it and all. I was gonna make a nice video of start to finish of the break in, then finish out the video running it on my jon boat
How heavy is that boat. I have 2 boats and Ive been looking into the same motor. I have a 1963 monarch that weighs about 80 pounds and My Sundolphin American 12 jon boat which weighs about 120. It should be going 15 on that monarch
This boat is pretty heavy has about a couple hundred lbs in the build of the decking and electrical stuff plus fishing gear 2 deep cycle battery's. I'd say all together without the hangkai about 600 lbs or something.
I have been running the hell out this little engine every chance I can I hit the water. I'd recommend it ,but for my boat I have been consider the hangkai 18hp
Hi Guy's, we have the 6hp 2 stroke hangkia's as well, I think they weigh 42lbs. We run on them a 10ft red and a 10.8ft white/grey inflatable dinghy. With one person we can reach 13mph. @Shevy love the content it's nice seeing more people doing video's of the hangkia's. How many hour's have you put on your 6hp so far?
I was looking into that too. But bought a mercury instead bc mercury is cheaper considering the medical bills for hearing damage and probably mental issues🤣🤣🤣 man that lawn machine is LOUD!
Hey shevy. I bought the same motor. What fuel line connector did you use for an external tank? I've tried so many and can't find one that fits properly. I appreciate it if you can give me a part number or anything
I'm pretty sure it's mercury fitting. I had a few around without box so I'm not 100 percent but I know it's not evinride because I have to change the fitting to switch motors
I had it aboutb2 years on the 2nd seasong I had let a friend try it on his john boat and he didn't fasten it down good and it came on after hitting a stump and he didn't have a safety chain on it. It was a great little motor they are a little under powered compared to good name brands the 6 is more like a 4 or 5 hp but ran great and always started easy. Would definitely buy another in a pinch. Would always see what you find find localy name brand first tho.
SM-Tackle thanks for the info I'm thinking about going and looking at a new 6 hp Suzuki tomorrow was thinking about one of these to finish out the summer with but they are out of stock anyway . Still may try one later. What I really want is a 9.9 of some kind. I have a 3.9 mercury now but it's an older motor and has been randomly dying on me it has been starting right back up but am afraid to go very far in it but I appreciate your info
Just received mine. The instruction says to break in for 8 hours. Did you already do it then do the test run in this video? I just want to take my boat to the lake right now. LOL
I'm not sure on the brand its a pre 1970's 14 ft v hull 48 wide with a pretty flat bottom. I stripped it down to nothing this winter and built it how it is.
No I'm not still using.A friend tried it on his boat and lost it in the river after hitting a stump. I did have it for 2 years and it was a great motor I think it's optimal for boats a little lighter then mine it would do great on a bare aluminum 12 ot 14ft boat
It was a pretty good motor honestly for the price of half of the major brands and when I purchased you couldn't even get mercury they where sold out fast for a 15 hp or less. Unfortunately I let my friend barrow the motor and he hit a stump and lost it. He liked it so much he is gonna pay me for it and buy another one

So are you satisfied 1/10?
It could be that you have to adjust the fuel / air ratio, so it's running smooth, it was a little rough near the idle but it maybe has to do with breaking in. Nice video btw
And I'm glad that you didn't tilt the engine fully down, that increases fuel consumption and lower the speed a bit
Yea I was thinking that maybe about 50 hours it'll be running alot smother then when I first started it. My Chinese Enduro really smoothed out at about 500 miles I tried a few different tilts its really easy to change it on the water with out light the engine is.
I'm super anxious to put some more time on this thing I wish this cold weather would blow out.
@@SM-Tackle Yes, cold weather isn't my coup of tea, here in Sweden is about 7-°C. And I really look forward to the summer 😀

This checks out , mine does 14mph on a 10ft fiberglass dingy with a cathedral hull , probably around 400kg fully loaded up
Hope it helped give you a idea of what to expect when I got mine there wasn't much documentation on them

@@SM-Tackle Did it come with the throttle rod extension or did you add that?
I added that I got it from acedamey sports
I have a blue sky 360. It's like a 13.5 foot catamaran. Only weight 170 pounds. What speed do you think I could get out of it?
Thank everyone so much for the awesome feedback. I will defiantly continue to post videos!
Did you have to lube any of the parts before use?
Yes I have a video of unboxing there is a break in period and you have to full up the lower unit with oil
Looked like it ran good
No mix oil and gas

is it worth it???
After 2 years how's the motor!!
Alot of the vibration when I start to get on it in the bimini top. I'm gonna have to make some rubber spacers for it
It looked not to bad, but 2 strokes vibrates quite a bit, so nothing to have panic about. But everything could be improved some how
I have a 3d printer so I can make some nice custom shaped ruber grommets and stuff.

Hello... Can you give an update on how the motors working out? Any problems, any issues?
Have you tried raising the motor? My twin 1.75 gamefishers do about that on a 10 footer.
This was during the break in period and the boat is pretty heavy 14ft with 2 full size 12v battery's

How did it break? There are parts available for these just like the major brands
wow that little motor seems great for the costs
I really love it I'm working on a update video of it.
have you had two people on this boat with this motor yet? how fast did it go?
About 7 mph my boat is pretty heavy tho
How long did it last you still have it is it worth it
What’s the weight on it? You think it’s to heavy for inflatable?
It's pretty light I can carry it one hand so I'd so less then 50 lbs

does the motor have an extra fuel tank?
It's internal

Did you ever do a spring video
I just posted a update video today.
Great video. How has it been working for you? Would you say it has enough power for a 14 foot aluminum v-hull with 2 people plus gear?
It does pushes my decked 14 vhull with 2 adults and gear about 7 mph. You won't win any races but it will get you there.
@@SM-Tackle awesome! How’s the reliability?
@@devinallen827 I haven't had a problem always starts right up. I only have about 30 hours on it
Just received mine. The instruction says to break in for 8 hours. Did you already do it then do the test run in this video? I just want to take my boat to the lake right now. LOL
Yes I did run it for several hours in a brute trash can. Then trolled abunch with it before giving it much throttle.
Where did you get the extended handle for the throttle?
I bought it at academy sports. There like 30 bucks.
I paid 80 bucks for one of these just now with free shipping. Is this legitimate or a scam? Hasn't shipped yet..
I'd say you got scammed! They are about $700.
How heavy is that motor need one for my laker metal boat 12ft
Maybe 15 20 lbs can carry pretty easy one arm
Do you think it can push a 1648 flat bottom aluminum boat?
Not very fast I have heard some good things about the bigger 18 hp they make.
Would it be ok for 11ft inflatable boat?
Yes I'd say that's what they are ideal for my boat just a little big and heavy for it
Still run?
It was I left a friend put it on his boat and he hit a stump so it's at the bottom of a river now 😞
@@SM-Tackle Total Bummer!
I put many hours on it and I wouldn't think twice about getting another or even a bigger model
What would it cost to buy this and get it sent to Canada
I'm not sure I purchase on ebay I have no idea about shipping things to Canada tho in the US you can get them shipped for around 700
Where did you get the extension handle? Thanks and great video!
Academy sports for about 25 dollars they make different lengths
I appreciate the awesome comment I been practicing my editing slowly getting better and just trying to build my channel. It means alot
I need a handle like that, can you send it to Indonesia?
What kinda of boat is that
I'm not sure on the brand its a pre 1970's 14 ft v hull 48 wide with a pretty flat bottom. I stripped it down to nothing this winter and built it how it is.
did u order from china? saw shipping is $430.
No I ordered from ebay it was us shipped free
@@SM-Tackle how much ?
They are about $700
Has anyone tried these engines in salt water? Just wondering durability with rust/oxidation on them.
I have heard they don't do well but if you use it daily id say you'd get you money out of it before it rusted
2 stroke or 4 stroke?
2 smoke
Been looking at buying one what length boat your running that on?
This a 14 48
Boss does the engine good for salt water?
I have heard they don't last long with salt water. I would defiantly clean it out after each use
Are you still using the motor and do you think it's worth 700$
No I'm not still using.A friend tried it on his boat and lost it in the river after hitting a stump. I did have it for 2 years and it was a great motor I think it's optimal for boats a little lighter then mine it would do great on a bare aluminum 12 ot 14ft boat
Thanks
Do these have a reverse gear?
Yes
what lake was you on?
Center hill
What kind of boat do you have?
I built it from a 14 ft aluminun v nose its pretty heavy with the full build out in it
Not sure of the brand its before they used hull id tags id say its like a early 70s
Those Hangkai motors never seem to run right, missfiring
How exspensive???
There are like $700
