This outboard delivers approx. 90-100lbs thrust. Will move a 14' Day Sailor (1000lbs) at medium speed.
Consider your distances, especially if they were to be very long, thus allowing the air cooled engine to cool off periodically, so as to prevent over heat. In other words if you're going miles up the lake etc, allow the engine to cool off for a few minutes while you're refueling.
We recomend for every hour of none stop runnig, allow it to cool off for 3 minutes, this pracatice will insure a life time of enjoyment,with virtually very little maintance.
Anti-Vibration System:To isolate tiller handle from engine housing.
Ergonomically Friendly:The tiller handle has a built in throttle control, kill switch, isolating bushings to alleviate wrist fatigue while under way, plus a special feature “Lock In Trolling” mode for slow cruising.
Centrifugal Clutch:Built to last, designed with steel friction pads, opposed to wearable fibrous type.
Clutch Housing:Hardened steel, heatproof bearings with side shields prevent moisture and corrosion.
Propeller:Made of polypropylene, resist damage caused by rocks and shells.
Drive Shaft: Hardened chromoly steel, solid 7mm splined shaft on both ends for precision connection to the lower gear prop and clutch housing.
CDI: Coil specifically designed to emit high voltage to the spark plug, which allows for easy engine starting.
Muffler:Heavy steel gauge, glass packed, internal double noise dampening plate baffles, designed to improve annoying tinning muffler sound often found on 2 and 4 stroke air cooled engines.
Air filter:We’ve included a plastic baffle between the carburetor air intake and air filter cover, this reduces engine noise and helps in preventing moisture from entering gas chamber and fouling spark plug.
Cooling System: Engine is equipped with additional cooling fins on the fly wheel to further dissipate heat from the cylinder head allowing the engine to run cooler.
Gas Tank:Built with a safety release valve when closed, it also allows for secure transport, preventing accidental spills. Capacity - 27oz.
Lower Gear Case:Packed with waterproof marine grease in place of gear oil, this allows it last for the life of the outboard, without replacement or maintenance.
Shaft:Outer housing and gear case are made of aluminum and are powdered coated to withstand salt and brackish waters.
Shaft Housing:Solid chromoly shaft is supported by five bushings to minimize vibration, warping, lashing as well as wear and tear.
Motor Mount:Strong lightweight universal mount, allows for tilt and trim as well as height adjustment for running in shallow water.*
Shaft: *Custom extended shafts, are available upon request, at additional costs.
Assembly:Outboard is shipped 98% assembled, and includes a tool kit.
