Delivered on time for a friend in need. He lives on a sailboat and was diagnosed with cancer and couldn’t get to shore in dinghy without motor. Even sick, he was still able to install it himself. Has worked like a charm, good power.

Runs well, but not even close to advertised hp. My 9.9 will do circles around this motor. 14ft jon boat.

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*

This motor is everything you need for a small boat. I got mine for a 14” Jon boat and it runs smoothly, starts with one pull and runs great. 5 stars!!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

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.
