Hangkai 4HP Outboard Motor

HANGKAI Outboard Motor, 4 HP 2-Stroke Outboard Motor.

Much lighter and less expensive than 6HP motor. Only 29lbs. Ideal for applications where weight low weight is paramount.

When it comes to outboard motors, Japanese brands like Honda, Mercury, Suzuki, and Tohatsu are the gold standard in the US market. These engines are celebrated for their unparalleled performance, exceptional durability, and innovative features. Investing in these premium brands guarantees top-notch quality and reliability. However, excellence comes at a cost, and these high-end engines can sometimes be more expensive than the inflatable boats they power.

But don’t worry—there are budget-friendly alternatives that deliver impressive value without compromising too much on quality. Enter Chinese brands like Hangkai, which have been steadily improving and offer an affordable option. Despite some initial skepticism, Hangkai outboards have proven to be reliable and effective, often modeled after their Japanese counterparts.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution and are handy with engine maintenance, a Hangkai outboard motor is an excellent choice. Many common issues stem from user error, such as incorrect operation or fuel use. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

• Always run the motor in water.
• Use REC-90 Ethanol-free gasoline.
• Drain the gasoline if the motor will be unused for several months to prevent carburetor clogging.

Minor issues, like a backward throttle handle label, are easily manageable with proper care and maintenance. When you adhere to break-in procedures and use the right oil and fuel, these motors can be reliable and efficient.

The Hangkai outboard motor features a CDI ignition system for quick and safe starts, enhancing convenience. Its international standard air intake system and optimized compression ratio improve combustion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, the 360-degree steering function allows for easy reversing without shifting gears, making it ideal for small watercraft, including fishing boats, dinghies, and inflatable boats.

IMPORTANT:

1. Please carefully read the manual and strictly follow the precautions to have a better experience. 2. Please measure the height of your boat before purchasing to ensure suitability for this product. 3. Please start the motor in the water. If the motor stops circulating water, please stop using it immediately and check the impeller of the water pump to see if the water outlet is blocked. 4. Please note that this product should use a mixture of two-stroke engine oil and 92 # unleaded gasoline. The running-in period of the new machine is 10 hours, during which the fuel ratio is 30L (7.93 gal) of gasoline to 1L (0.26 gal) of engine oil. After 10 hours, the ratio is 50 liters (13.21 gallons) of gasoline to 1 liter (0.26 gallons) of oil. 5. Please note that the emergency shutdown rope should be inserted when the outboard motor is started, and the other end should be wrapped around your wrist or belt. 6. Please do not drive too fast during the running-in period. After the running-in period, the gear oil needs to be replaced, and the second replacement time is about 100 hours or 6 months later. 7. Please do not leave this product outside until the cooling water is completely used up. Otherwise, water will enter the cylinder through the exhaust port, leading to engine failure. After cruising in seawater or turbid water, please clean the outboard motor with fresh water and cool the water channel with fresh water. The engine should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated place, and avoid direct exposure to sunlight. 8. If not in use for a long time, please thoroughly clean the gasoline in the fuel tank.

IMPORTANT:

1. About the noise: All the gasoline machines are noisy, currently we did not test the decibel , but the noise is the same as the motorcycle, so it is a normal phenomenon

2. The machine itself is lightweight, it can use on boat weight of 100kg or less , load-bearing 4 people, but the speed is certainly not the same when one person on it or 4 people on it. Customer who has high expectations on speed, please be noted. Boat will not be as fast as JetSki.
