When it comes to outboard motors, Japanese brands like Honda, Mercury, Suzuki, and Tohatsu have set the standard in the US market. Renowned for their excellent performance, durability, and cutting-edge features, these engines are truly top-notch. However, their premium quality often comes with a higher price tag, sometimes exceeding the cost of the inflatable boat itself.
But don't worry, there's a more budget-friendly alternative available—Chinese-made outboard motors, such as those from Hangkai. While there may be some skepticism about their quality, these motors have significantly improved over time. Many are actually modeled after the reliable Japanese brands. If you're looking for a cost-effective option and have the know-how to perform minor adjustments, Hangkai outboard motors could be the perfect choice for you.
It's important to note that most issues with Chinese outboard motors stem from improper operation, not following the correct procedures, or using the wrong gasoline. Here are a few tips to ensure optimal performance:
- Always run the motor in water, never outside.
- Use REC-90 Ethanol-free gasoline to prevent carburetor clogging.
- Remove all gasoline if the motor won't be used for several months.
When properly maintained, these motors can be just as reliable as their Japanese counterparts. They even come with great features such as a CDI ignition system for quick and safe starting, an international standard air intake system for improved combustion efficiency, and a 360-degree steering function for easy maneuverability. Ideal for small watercraft like fishing boats, dinghies, and inflatable boats, Hangkai outboard motors offer an affordable yet dependable solution.

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.
3. Please note, this is inexpensive Chinese outboard motor. If you expect nothing less than flawless perfection, please select one of Japanese brands.
