Motor sounds really good and almost 25mph is pretty good. I think you are going to like the setup you have, now all you have to do is catch some fish : )
@@herbiesgarage681 I like it. Fishing trip next time.
@@JerryHawk250 make sure it doesn’t sink by next year I don’t want to swim with the gators 😂
@@herbiesgarage681 😂
Nice! That's a big motor for that little boat. 🙂
@@frankmaze1972 boat is big. It's rated for a 25hp
Looksn like it is doing very well. Sounds fairly quite at low to mid rpm. Keep us posted on where to find props and parts. Id say good idea to buy several water pumps and seals to just make sure for the future. Im pretty sure im going to be buying one soon. 👍
@@larryalexander4833 it is quiet and smooth. It comes with extra pump impeller, gaskets and spark plugs.
You sound like you know outboards! I cant wait to see it broken in and with a newer prop! Upload an update video! (and if you could explain your process of sizing the prop for your boat in the next video) great video, thank you sir!!!
@@daneh6240 I've been working on outboard motor for over 40 years. This is a good little motor.
Loojs very good how much does it weight?
@@johnmajewski1065Thanks! I really don't know. It's has a little weight to it.
From 9.9hp , to, 20 hp motor are the same. as well the weight .Only electronic change to give them more power and speed.
Hey Jerry! I just got an 18hp Hangkai myself on a 16ft seanymph aluminum. I’m hitting about 7mph max with two adults. Not sure what I’m doing wrong! I’m thinking I may need a jack plate and a different propeller, when I get home I need to see where the caviation sits compared to the heel, I got a long shaft Hangkai

@@BigTonysRipzz you need the cavitation plate to be about an inch below the bottom of the boat. Also trim out the motor as much as you can.
Do all hangkai 18hp have the same shaft length? I watched a video where the guy said the short shaft isn't exactly short. On Amazon it says there are short shafts but I think they might all be longer than advertisex . let me know thanks.
looks about 10 inches below bottom of boat , thats more like a sailboat lower unit . Use a straight edge and add to transom to jack motor up before buying a prop . Might find the RPM will be more and then look at new prop pitch , Sry I got a jacker plate on my bass boat and brother was a retired boat mechanic . best wishes . new prop is less work .
@@juanziegler1471 cavitation plate is about an inch and a half below the bottom. I definitely need the 11 pitch prop though and raise the engine. Turning way too many RPM's. I'm having a 6" setback trim and tilt built right now. I've been around boats all my life and built and raced boats. I know exactly what I need to do. 👍
@@JerryHawk250 well good luck then , you obviously have all the answers.
@@juanziegler1471 I don't know about all the answers. 😂 But thanks for the input. I'm never too old to learn. 👍
@@JerryHawk250 me too 57 lol
