4 Stroke Outboard Motor with Fuel Tank, 123CC 6.5HP Boat Motor Boat Engine Motor, Heavy Duty Outboard Motor Inflatable Marine Fishing Yacht Engine

This little motor has been exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want a big fast motor. I just wanted something to get me away from the shore and allow me to fish all sides of the rivers and lakes near where I live. This motor has been very reliable. I did find that once I set the starting gas position higher than is recommended, as a motor starting position, it starts on the first pull almost every time. This motor pushes my 14' Alumacraft boat at about 7-8 mph. I did keep topping the gas off, but honestly this thing runs on thimbles of gas. I have hit my 10 hour break-in period and am almost positive the entire 10 hours would have only used one tank of gas. I am probably exaggerating, but it is very efficient on gas. Now, having said that, once you run around at 7-8 mph, there is a natural desire to want to go faster. I can see myself buying the 12 or 18 HP versions in the future. But, keep in mind, the 12 and 18 HP versions are 2-stroke and not 4-stroke like the 6.5HP, so you will have to mix your gas for those. The 6.5 HP takes Gear Oil and Motor Oil (in different compartments of course). 4 Stroke Marine oil 10W-30 or 25W-40. The Gear oil is Marine Gear Lube SAE-90. Hope this helps

I bought this during duck season, so I used it very little last year. I have used it about every other weekend for the last 4 months. I will have to say that with 2 guys (both around 225lbs + gear+ boat (14' flat bottom) it moved us right along. I can run several hours (6 plus) on one 3-gallon tank. I did have to turn down the low idle as it would go about 2mph just idling, now runs around 1.1-1.2 mph. Also, the top part of the hood cracked maybe 4th time out. so i ended up doing a patch over this crack. Everything works well. Sound is a little bit loud but no foam in the engine bay to dampen it. *Highly recommend to not leave it laying on its side when it rains outside as the carb can absorb water due to the direction it fits in the compartment*

Brand new motor will not stay running , tried to contact , they offered $50 refund, for me to take it to shop and have repaired. Have not even used motor for total of 20 mins of run time. To return it I will have to pay another $200 for shipping . Will never buy from them again . Buyer beware.

For the price you can't go wrong. I have had very little to no issues with this motor. I use it almost every week end on my tinder to get out to my sailboat. The motor fires right up every time. I did recently have an issue with the safety lever that prevents the pull cord from engaging when the motor is in gear pop out and I had to troubleshoot but I just popped it in and it worked again. I think the lever could designed to be a little less prone to pop out but now that I know what to look for its a quick fix. As the title says I'm on my second one because the first one was stolen out of my car, it worked really well so I bought another one.

Gas tank didn’t come with it. Motor came covered in oil. Paid $200 shipping fee plus the motor cost to get a used one is what it seems like to me. Nor did it have the owners manual.

Hangkai 6.5hp 4 strokes arrived in good package, no damage, fast shipping. Changed oil in motor and reductor and it started from third or second pull. Took to lake for 2 hours, no issues so far. Great quality. I do not see any difference with Tohatsu or other outboards.

Took almost 40 minutes to start. Nothing in the manual worked for it to start. The engine died 40 minutes into my trip on the lake. The engine would start then die within a minute a handful of times until it stopped. I was stranded on the opposite side of the lake. The day was miserable! I followed all the requirements in the manual using the correct oils in the proper amounts, etc.

Works great
