Hangkai 3.6 hp outboard motor - 25 hour use review
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 06. 2018
- After 25 hours of run time. This is a review of the status of the outboard motor and an important repair that should be done soon after purchase.
Really enjoying your videos. They are some of the most informative on the subject that I have seen posted. Looking forward to seeing the ongoing updates on your journey! Great work!! 👍🏻
I had the same problem with the fuel lines. It started to spill fuel and oil into the water when I took the engine out for a run in the river. I pulled the cover and found that the yellow fuel line was disconnected. I reconnected it with super glue and reinforced it with plasticine, only to have it melt off on a hot day out in the river. When I tried to reconnect it a second time the whole cork popped into the tank and I needed to get towed back to the marina. Listen to this man! Change the fuel lines. Great job with the vids, keep them coming.
Thanks for your comments!
I carry spare fuel lines, spark plug, and sheer pins along on every trip 😂
Thanks very much for this Information. I find it very important, because i buy these motor yesterday by ebay
Soooo helpful Dan. I've ordered mine on ebay yesterday. Got it for 147.- Pounds. Hangkai should pay you for making their products last ;) - and i've subscribed to your channel of course.
Thanks for letting me know that you are out there! I always appreciate positive support for my efforts 🥳.
It began as something to do after retirement and to record my journey with the little engine. I didn’t know that I would end up creating a maintenance / repair guide but I’m glad that I recorded it all! It would be nice if Hangkia would provide some support 😂.
Thanks for watching 👍👍
Dan, the cool thing about you is, your point out what to do, like changing the fuel line firsthand, replace the spark plug, bee wax the pull cord, lubing the gearbox in the foot. With these cross tha pond engines, it's the little things that are over looked. People complain about these engines, saying they're junk and they're cheap, but lets be honest here, $300 for a gas outboard isn't gonna be top of the line.
With a 1.6 hp engine, it'll get you where you're going and back, but NOT in a hurry...
THANKS!
That’s what my goal was. I just documented what I was going through. I had watched videos and tried to learn from them. A good example was the cords breaking. I recalled as a child my Grandad (Grandpa in today’s lingo) showed me how a cord will last longer with a little bees wax! He was a great guy who to me pond fishing every summer. Only used cain poles 😂
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍👍
Thanks for the great series of in-depth videos. These motors have a bad reputation, but you have confirmed that they just need a little extra care from a mechanically-minded man. I imagine many of the bad reviews result from people running them full-out new out of the box without gear oil and full of ethanol...
Rhy,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. When considering this motor, I too saw the negative reviews but was able to read between the lines and in researching the product learned where people went wrong. So I gave it a try and have been very happy with it. I've got a couple of items to report on and hope to update the status of my adventure soon. Nothing major, just continuing the story of my adventure.
They are a pretty neat setup. The manufactures just fell a little short on R&D and QC.. For instance, I think they surge and jump because of 2 reasons and a big one is crap fuel lines. The other reason I think is the carburator gets hot and the fuel vaporizes. They are not really water cooled. The water cools the exhaust only which only pulls a little heat from the cylinder head which will keep it from seizing up. I think a modification using a copper tube stealing some of the cooling water touching or near the carb will keep it cool enough that it won't jump.. The clutch is a simple fix they used but the clutch they used is not rated for the duty they require of them. They are string trimmer clutches. designed to spin a plastic string with virtually no load on it. A prop is a very large load... The bad really is they are the ONLY 1.5hp ( really not 3.5/6 hp ) outboard available in current market, so with cheap inflatables, it's either Hangkai or electric
@@mattdudley3789 ,
l'm debating with this option vs. a trolling motor for a 14' canoe ( w/ transom) . The noise is gonna be the main factor.
@@BlueOriginAire you would have a better time, with 2 batteries and a 30# trolling motor in a canoe. It won't take much to move it... I smoked the clutch on my Hangkai with about 4 hours run time and never bothered to fix it, although I still have and it still runs. They are too loud IMO, but it got me out on the water in my $100 inflatable last year.
@@mattdudley3789 ,
that's what l'm talking about ✌🏽☺️✍🏼
I don't want to waste time getting the wrong set up and l appreciate your advice.
Plus, she can carry the troller, l can carry the battery. Thanx so much, l can now go shopping.
Hey
Cool raft have fun. Found your vids very cool and helpful keep making them.
I'll post something in the spring.... If it ever arrives!
Hello I have that motor no issues Gee no oil in lower unit and gas line got to go look. I had a raft like yours made a 1/4"plywood floor with hose around the out side of it to keep from making holes. Put the floor in then pump up the raft it works real good
Black line was off and NO oil in lower unit.Gee no oil in lower unit NO DAMAGE but will put oil in it PDQ. WoW little motor ran good the 7 times I used it. Just the last time out motor was cutting out and leaking gas. gas line must have been lose and came off when I pulled cover off?. My 14 foot John boat gets 6 mph at full speed with 2 of us and gear in it. Cant get it to go TROLLING speed just to fast for that. I really want to troll got a plan for that. Drift Sock Sea Anchor will slow it down. and have 2 Cannon Mini-Troll Down Riggers use MAGNUM Dipsy Diver for the lead ball. Down and out should get me fish. Next year
They ship them with no oil in the lower because it could leak out while sitting sideways and make a mess in the box... also US customs doesn’t allow hazardous materials in the box ie oil...
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your time on the water.
super review videos on this motor..the one thing they have convinced me to do is to never buy this piece of junk..i will just save up my money and get me a yamaha or suzuki 2.5 or 3.5..thanks again...
That works for me. I decided to make the videos for someone just like you to help make a decision one way or another! You can never go wrong getting the best you can afford.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍👍
@@BoilerDan1 no offense what so ever..you did me a great favor..at almost 80 my life is catching crappie not fixin a motor every trip out...
No offense was taken… I’m glad to hear that it helped in your decision making. I just hit 70 and switched to wooden model ship building! Lugging the raft and motor became too much!
I would be better off with a solid boat and trailer. Enjoy your fishing!👍👍
dear sir you already have the wood floor bolt down a steel transom to the floor it will go a lot better the motor mount is not solid enough , you have overcome some complications but push down on the boat when inflated it will bounce back your motor is doing the same thing , you can buy steel shelving brackets the rest will fall into place. good luck to you mine moves pretty good
Thanks for your advice! That’s a great solution!
Your videos are very helpful, thanks
Thanks for watching and providing some positive feedback 😁👍👍
I think you would get more speed if you raised the motor up (see jackplate). when I run my boat full throttle just the lower part of the outboard is in the water (prop & water intake for cooling).
Totally agree, but with the raft being air filled it tends to flex when the motor is accelerated. Best I can think of is making something that absorbs the thrust onto the plywood floor.... But that adds more stuff to set up... I'm resolved to just going slow... Thanks for your input.
Thanks for the well thought out and informative video. I'm buying one of these for the same reasons you did and for the exact same boat. I will upgrade the fuel lines and prop before the first run thanks to this video. Have fun and keep up the post. Did the aluminum prop make a difference other than durability?
I'm not sure if the prop made any difference... Just stronger feeling. I have touched bottom a couple of times in a sandy gritty area and it did fine. I went out this morning with a nephew and the motor continues to run smoother with age. I will mention that I think I might have liked the excursion 5 better for a little more room.... Just a thought to consider. In one video I show a bag that I purchased via Amazon. It has worked out great, and it might hold the larger raft aw well. It has plenty of extra room. I just fold the raft in half, then roll it up and it fits with plenty of room to spare! Have fun with your experience.
I really appreciate your time and videos I have learned a great deal can you also do a video in the air and fuel filters .... I got the 3.5hp wanting to use it Aden Yemen the Red sea it's still in its box untill I leave from the UK thanks mate
The air filter with the motor is fine. I never replaced it. Being on the water there’s less dust. So you are good the way it is. 👍👍
I have a seahorse 3.5 which looks to be very similar to your motor (aside from the top cap). The engine seems to be running fine but 2 minutes or so into running, the prop will stop spinning and I get only bubbles being discharged from the lower unit. I need some help troubleshooting please
The motor I have has a clutch that controls the propeller. It is a spring loaded mechanism that as the motor accelerates it spins, it opens creating a seal that then catches the propeller system making it turn. That's how at an idle, the spring pulls it back in so it free wheels and the prop stops turning. The material used wears out over time and has to be replaced. Here is a link that someone else posted showing the area I'm referring to: czcams.com/video/HY-WPcPzo5o/video.html
Yep Dan's right I think its your clutch. If you here a higher pitch whirring sound at full throttle its starting to wear.
shear pen ?
Your shear pin broke.
@@BoilerDan1 how long will it take to change a clutch?
Hi,I have an outboard that just looks the same as this but with a different name it's called aiqidi
Probably all made in the same factory
Mine came with gear oil
Cost me £100 a few years ago😉😁
Yes, I’m sure that they are the same. I’ve seen several versions of the same thing too. I’ve not seen one with the “ Aiqidi” logo on it, but the price was great! 👍 Thanks for watching 😁
This guy should be paid now
Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback! I just recorded my experience with the Hangkai motor. I made several in that series including repairs that I had to make, so keep watching, maybe let an ad or two play through 😂 it’ll give me some fun money 😉👍👍
Makes my Suki 2.5 look like a Rolex compared to a dollar store watch.
Not such a good enology..... maybe a corvette to a chevette! Ahh now that works better... But aren’t we both just going to Walmart? Yep, you’ll arrive there alright, but so will I 😂! I might have to coast into a parking spot but I’ll get there. Thanks for watching. 😉
Have you figured out where the cooling water pump impeller goes?
Yes, it’s at the bottom of the shaft going to the propeller. It’s just a simple paddle wheel. Not much to it. Only thing that could go wrong is if the paddle broke off. No internal moving parts.
So it's 30.1 on the 2 stroke oil for break it in, because I've only been able to find 32.1 oil?
The actual manufacturer website says break in is listed as:
The new machine in the running and fuel oil during the volume ratio of 25: 1
After the run-in fuel and oil volume ratio of 50: 1 .
If you’re buying pre-mixed fuel you won’t find it.
You’ll need to buy the oil separate from the fuel and mix it yourself.
Here’s a sample at Amazon

Also sorry to bother you but did you get a chance to test the fish finder? Would be interesting to. Compare to mine. LOL. As not even the depth is Accurate. But that is what you get from a cheap one though.
Not yet. I was going to a small lake but got rained out. Using it in a strong current didn't seem like the best way to test it.
I will definitely get out and try it at some point.
Where would a person find parts for repair? Especially the spark plug and Carburetor.
I’ve found clutch. Others have said it matches up with other similar motors. I think the carb would be easy. It’s a standard spark plug. But it’s something to consider in buying one or not. Thanks for watching!
Thank You!
Is the metal propeler faster
I can't confirm that it is faster, I just thought at the time that it would be stronger. In hindsight it probably wouldn't matter.
Thanks for watching 😁
Nice set up.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
It would probably do a lot better on something like a small Jon boat, about a 12 ft size would be a good size, those inflatable boats have a lot of drag in the water.
Yes, I agree. But the raft was CHEAP (0:
Thanks for the detailed video and do you think it will handle a 11ft fibreglass boat
I think it would work much better on the fiberglass boat! I lost a lot of thrust because of the sponginess of the inflatable boat. One area to mention is that the exhaust is at the bottom of the shaft below the waterline. So it’s not very good for trolling! But it’ll get you from point A to point B!
I think if I had it to do ever again I’d give more consideration to the 4 stroke as it has a muffler!😂
Thanks for watching. I hope this series can help you decide if this inexpensive motor would work for you.
👍
Hello, I understand these videos are about 3 years ago. I am looking for a small outboard. I may very well try 1 of these. I see what I need to do to make it as reliable and safe as well. Thank you and GOD bless. 73 Earnest K5EWM.
You’re very welcome. I just recorded my adventure for someone like you!
I hope the videos help in your decision. Many people have decided one way or another,so I’ve felt I’ve done a reasonable job of pointing out the pros and cons of the motor.
Thanks for watching, and the blessing is an added bonus 👍👍
@@BoilerDan1 your very welcome. 👍🇺🇸👍
If gas stations have a single tank that is split up in tbe ground and you pump ethanol free fuel from it and someone gets reg gas before you there is reg fuel in the pump line still, its a valve that switches tanks but you always get some of what the person before you bought, find a gas station with separate fuel tanks for the ethanol
What Chickanic's channel video called, Fueled by deception
😂👍 good info to know!
I am new owner of 10.5 ft inflatable dingy. I will buy one outboard 3-4 hp with limited budget. Which will be preferable-- 2 stroke or 4 stroke ? Some people says that 2 stroke a bit noisy. May I have your suggestion?
If I had it to do over again I would get the 4stroke! Just being honest 👍
@@BoilerDan1 Thank you for help to take decision.
could you please give the specs on the fuel lines you got from amazon? or perhaps that link? I am close to pulling the trigger on this machine. Thanks, great info...very helpful!
Here you go.

I did find these to fit, but they were tight. I also purchased line at a local Lawnmower repair shop by taking a piece of the old one with me. But it also was a tighter fit. But all worked ok.
Thanks for watching.
Did you ever figure out what was making your motor jump??
Can you please tell me what size and type of fuel line to use and what spark plug? I have just ordered one of these and will do the changes before use
I used some from Amazon, here’s a link:

But I ended up going to a lawnmower repair place and took the original fuel line with me. They seem to hold up better however the Amazon ones worked too, just replace them each season (or once a year).
I also purchased the spark plug from Amazon and here’s a link to that as well. The gap is pre-set so it’s an easy switch out!

Is this out boar actually a 3.6hp or is it a bit smaller engine because I know with the strimmer ones they they they are a certion size but they are smaller I was wondering if it is the same with this
I’m not sure. I tried to look it up using a formula I found online…. But several viewers explained that the formula wasn’t accurate…. It’s definitely a small simple design motor…. But for the price, I was happy with it…. It’s not without issues, but keeping an eye out and doing simple maintenance stuff, I think the engine block itself is fine… the add on stuff needs regular attention!
These are a 2 HP. Based on the Honda GX 50. 53 cc
Hey I just got the inflatable Intex excursion 5 and want to modify the floor can you please Sir show us the best way to measure the plywood thanks
I’d recommend measuring across where the floor is inflated, but leave room for the foam pipe insulation to protect the raft. As I recall flipping the raft over allowed a good pattern for the floor, but I ended trimming some off for the foam protectors.
Hi, I made my first exit with the new engine today, I followed all your advice even from the previous videos, I encountered a problem with the engine: in its first ignition, as a new engine, I could not keep it on idling, it always turns off, what should I do? The engine does not stay in neutral, it turns off and I have always been forced to keep it slightly accelerated otherwise it turns off !! Thank you
I’m not completely sure? But here’s a couple of thoughts. It could be that the oil rich fuel mixture is causing it somewhat? So maybe after you have finished the break in it’ll improve?
However, you can adjust the engine with the screws at the carburetor.
Sorry, I can’t explain how, but if you google or search idle adjustment for small motors I think you’ll find something on CZcams.
The carburetor on this is used on trimmers too.
Here’s a sample video that explains how to adjust the carburetor….
You only need to adjust the low setting, but watch the entire video. Then start your motor and just turn that adjusting screw a little bit to bring your idle speed up a bit.
czcams.com/video/HquG1U1_uLk/video.html
Thank you so much for the advice, I will definitely try. Is there anything else I didn't understand what it's for, the choke lever? How should it be used?
Choke is only needed when engine is cold, or not been run for a long time.
All it does is cover the air intake so the fuel is pulled into the carburetor with very little air. You can see it if you remove the engine cover and move the clutch lever.
Hope it continues to improve for you.👍👍
Thank you! But I still didn’t understand, if I put the lever on off the engine suddenly turns off, the only way not to turn off the engine is to constantly keep the choke lever on. I have another question, but is it normal that the engine is so slow? My inflatable boat goes very slowly, I’m in break-in it’s true, but sometimes and then I pushed to the maximum to see what the maximum speed is like and honestly people in kayaks go faster than me, but is it normal?
Sounds like you need to adjust the carburetor. If you know someone that works on small engines like a weed wacker, they might adjust it for you.
Unfortunately on a raft it’s a little slow. I think it’s because you lose thrust because it’s soft allowing it to tilt… sorry.
What is the link to those fuel lines? Thanks.
Here is the link to Amazon where I purchased a variety of sized fuel lines. Please subscribe to my channel too.

Hi. Thanks for the great review of this motor. I’ve been looking for an emergency motor to keep on my sailboat. Could you give the link for the fuel lines you used? Thanks!
I recently went to a lawn mower repair shop and took in the original equipment lines. They suggested the return line to buy is 3mm X 6mm. I put it on, it fit fine but the outer diameter 6mm was pretty tight getting it into the fuel tank through the rubber grommet. But it did fit and is thicker than the original. The incoming fuel supply line is 3mm X 5mm. I purchased it too but have not installed it as the original equipment (black hose) is in good shape.
Here is a link of what I think would work through Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZY2B539/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUzNCM0sxQzhSR05TJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDczNDQ1MUtLODZZTVBYTzVQNSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzMwNzAzMkM3UVE2MUJHVlVYVSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2hxcF9zaGFyZWQmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

BoilerDan1 Thanks for the detailed reply and links.
Isbthis hangkai 3.6hp still working
Sorry I can’t answer that question. I turned 72 and family convinced me to sell the boat and motor. 😂👍
IF YOU HAD A CHOICE WOULD YOU PICK THE 2 STROKE OR THE 4 STROKE MOTOR? THANK
S
I would give serious consideration for the 4 stroke! At the time, I learned that if you lay the 4 stroke on it’s side, oil can flow into the cylinder and fowl the spark plug. Two stoke that won’t happen. But I’ve since learned that laying it one the other side would be okay..... So I’m actually considering getting a 4 stroke and trying it out! Maybe next season? So the short answer is yes, if you have the little extra cash, I’d get the 4 stroke. If I ever get one I’ll document it on video too.😉
@@BoilerDan1 THANK YOU
WELL BOILERDAN1 I BOUGHT ME A 4HP. 57cc 4STROKE (HAFIY) MOTOR FOR 275,00 AND FREE SHIPPING ITS THE BEST DEAL I FOUND!
Well, that tells me I'm going to need to get a bigger motor.
Then my work was successful! Glad to have helped.
Thanks for watching.
Is it a 2 stroke or 4 stroke ?
The one I show is the 2 stroke. Thanks for watching
I have a the same one engine like this
I hope that the series of videos that document my experience with the motor will help you in your own experience.
Thanks for watching 👍
Can you troll with it? And is it to loud for trout fishing in small lakes?
The exhaust does exit below the water line, so that might spook trout? The boat and motor would be well suited for small lakes, but if noise is an issue, you could use it to get to a spot, then have an electric trolling motor. I wanted to be able to get to a spot, then shut it off to fish. You can run at slower speed to troll but the sound may still be an issue. It is good to run full speed to get to your favorite spot!
Thanks for watching.
@@BoilerDan1 Ok. Noise level about the same as a mercury of the same size? Or more like a chainsaw? It's just really hard to gauge the sound without being there. Thanks.
Not as loud as a chain saw. People joke that it sounds like a weed eater.... It's not really as loud as a weed eater, but it is not near as quiet as a regular boat motor. If your concerned about noise much at all, I'd look into a used regular outboard motor. Sorry I can't be more specific on noise level....

Electric outboard seems better. No noise, no hassle.
I tend to agree with you. A lot less to potentially go wrong. But at the time I didn’t want to lug around a heavy battery plus I didn’t want the limitations on distance. But for using on a small body of water your point is well advised.👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

why not get a aluminum boat?
Storage space. The raft folds up into a 3'X3' carry case and no need for a trailer. Everything fits on or in my Subaru Forester... :0)
Looks like I won't be buying Hangkai😂
That’s why I documented my journey with the motor! It’s definitely not for everyone….. Although I had fun messing around with it.😂
Thanks for watching and confirming my experience was helpful 👍👍
Try a 4 cycle. You'll never go back.
Next time! 👍👍
Do these motors pee
Yes they do!
Ok thanks
its a piece of junk
Trash engine, buy in amazon, i lost my money
Sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be doing okay. Others might like to know more of your experience, such as did you add gear oil down at the propeller? Did you slowly do the break in procedures? Was it is fresh or salt water? But if you've had it with the motor, no need to detail the experience any more.
@@BoilerDan1 all the screws were loose, the tube to adjust, then check the oil of the propeller shaft and it was all right, I started it in a tank with plenty of water and in less than 3 minutes it was reheated and I burned all the thread of the starter, turn off and when removing the top cover it looked all right, the mixture of gasoline and oil outboard was everything perfect, it should not have any damage if it is new but I am never good and neither the amazon nor the probidor were not responsible for the expenses of I sent it, I bought it from Panama, I did not buy more online, I lost a lot of money, better to buy one of proven quality
@@LuisLopez-ui5qw ;
I purchased mine directly from the importer and it shipped from the factory new. There was no gear oil in the shaft, so I added it in. I did have one pull cord get caught and break but that was an easy fix. Sorry your experience was bad.
I wonder if chainsaw fuel lines will work ?
Possibly? I ordered a multi size packet from Amazon and found some that worked. Under $10.
Here’s a link to what I purchased:
HIFROM 4-Feet Fuel Line Hose Tube (4 Size) I.D. x O.D. 3/32" x 3/16" 1/8" x 3/16" 1/8" x 1/4" 0.080" x 0.140" Compatible with Poulan Craftman Chainsaw String Trimmer Blower a.co/d/8g9B4bG
are the bad fuel lines just on the 3.6hp or does the 3.5hp use the same fuel lines??
I think they are both the same. It’s not so much the fuel lines as it is the ethanol in fuels. In time I would hope that they will replace them with something that isn’t as quickly damaged by the current fuels available in the US.
@@BoilerDan1 in the uk were i am its the same script here i always use the ethanol free or very low ethanol fuels if am forced to. Definitely thinking about getting this outboard thanks for the knowledge Dan.
If you don’t mind keeping an eye on things, and figure on replacing the clutch every season….. that clutch would last longer if you were to replace the tension spring as it’s way too tight for this motor….. then you can enjoy the motor. I’d encourage you to watch the series as I did work out some issues.
A couple of things to know:
1. Break in should be done on your boat. If you use a bucket or barrel be sure to run cool water in it the entire time. (Off camera I kept adding in snow)
2. Don’t put any insulation under the cover…. I did and ended up removing it as it held heat inside.

In the upper left corner click on the 3 horizontal lines. Then select “News”.
You’ll find some trouble shooting information there.
Thanks for following along on my journey. I recently turned 71 and realized that maybe taking it out on an air filled raft on a river with submerged trees wasn’t really a smart thing to do…. No nearby lakes or ponds, so my boating adventures have come to an end….
Ah, but now I’m building tall ships ie…. HMS Victory, several versions of The Black Pearl, and several smaller fishing boats that I have for sale at a shop on the South Carolina coastline at Port Royal….. So the little boy in me still lives! 😂👍🏴☠️
