Thanks for posting this! I was on the fence on getting an old 2hp evinrude to push my 17' grumman. This was a perfect video showing a canoe with a side mount outboard
Gonna try my 4hp outboard on my 15 1/2 ft canoe with a steel transom I built today :) wish me luck . I got a buddy to sit up front for this test though . Nice video brotha
I sunk my canoe today with a 4hp electric outboard on a 15 foot old town canoe. His advice about the splash guard is necessary. Also not ideal for a lake with waves and chops.
How far would you recommend that mount placement from the stern of the boat? I sunk may canoe today doing a U turn, however my placement was about 1 foot from the back. Also do you have any recommended splash guard products you mentioned?
I built a similar motor mount for my old 17 Grumman and put a garage sale trolling motor on it. I could do a gas engine like this, put prefer the quiet of the electric.
Running Stream Oh ok cool, your not wrong about adding to the experience saves the old arms and shoulders if your going on a long trip thats for sure. I think I may be looking for a bit bigger motor before long that one of mine is so loud pretty well need ear muffs lol, so your motor still going good then ?
Im in the same boat (no pun intended). I think the biggest perk of the outboard is not having to rely on battery power. I think the biggest negative would be the noise and lack of a very slow tolling speed. However it would be nice to reserve battery power for electronics and not your motor.
@@UserFormelyKnownAs_hjkh have a look at the Honda BF2 or BF2.3. They have a centrifugal clutch and can be run at very low trolling speeds or in neutral. Epic Japanese quality, I just bought one today.
it depends on where you run. a electric motor allows for State Park use and isn't annoying at night to camper. if you do larger rivers and huge lakes obviously a gas would be better. just get both and pick the tool for the job
+mustang774 cheers mate, yeah it moves along well. I think it fast enough to reach spots that otherwise would be too far for a day paddle. It allows me to reach a few extra fishing spots when I'm just out for the day too.
@@drunkedupdiver I’m in the same boat as mustang (5years later and yes pun intended). I have an Ozark Trail w/ 30lb thrust. Maxes out at about 4mph. Would love to get to 10mph at least
Boat stores are far and my car doesn't tow, would like to get the sundolphin 14ft ss canoe but instead of a trolling motor it's made for I wanted a small hp motor only seeing 2.5 hp on the market not 2 hp they still make these ? Thinking of the Suzuki 2.5
What was the final speed? I couldn't understand if he was reading off in knots or kilometers... big speed difference between the two, but the canoe was going plenty fast enough to get you around a lake for a bit of fishing. :)
Is there a specific desired angle that is recommended for a stern mounted engine? Just straight on? I am a welder and have the equipment, Just wondering how it's done. Thanks.
suggestion......instead of adding weight to the Bow....why not just tilt the mounting bracket? just figure out what angle at full throttle and then wedge that...less weight means more speed :)
It depends on a lot of factors. If you attach your 2hp Outboard to the Queen Mary 2 she will move with wind and current no matter what you do to the motor. If you put it to a race kayak with hydrofoils and an aerodynamik canopy for your head and the propeller has a pitch high enough, it should be possible to reach 60 kts. So your boat speed will be something between 0 and 60kts. Waterline length, hull shape and weight are important factors. You have to tell them if you want a better answer.

Looks like fun. Planning on getting a 2.3 hp next spring. Thx for the great video! 🛶😃
The 2.3 Hondas don't have much power, most air cooled don't
very nice , surprised me , moved very well .. thanks for sharing ..
amazing stuff, just watching it now, saw your post on FB and very much looking forward to watching your vids :) phil
That 2hp is perfect for that size boat.
Very nice video. I just bought a Johnson 2.3 to throw into my inflatable little boat. Will try this weekend. Excellent video. Tx for posting.
Nice video!! Will come in handy for this fishing season
That scoots along pretty good 👍 👌

How did the 4 horse do? Is it too heavy for the canoe? Torn between a 2 or 5 horse outboard for my 17ft Grumman with a side mount.

@@zachberman9785saw someone do it with 4hp but they had an aluminum 17ft canoe

What type of mount is that?
Please tell me how the Parsun has held up over the years since you posted this. Are they quality motors?
Great video
May I ask what type of engine month is it ?
Hand made ? What material ?
Thanks
Where can you get a motor mounting bracket like the one you have?
Is it a long shaft or short shaft ? How's it holding up over time.
Nice little rig mate. I was considering getting the backwater 15, and curious what you think about what the max. speed might be on that? Ta mate
Nice little set up you have there mate!
+Roodog Gonebush thanks mate, I found your vid with yours whilst looking around for a motor. They sure do add to the canoe experience.

How do you like the side motor mount?
I’m torn between going for this or a 55lb trolling motor & battery. This works better than I thought it would. Thanks for the video.

Nice little engine, very fast. I have an electric motor for my canoe but would like a small gas engine like this one.....Take care, Bluefin.

Hey mate how do you stop the spray from the outboard when going fast speed like that from going into the canoe?
I have an old 16' Mohawk that I power with an equally old Johnson 1.5 HP. It moves my canoe well, but not that fast!
That was a nice ride
Where can you get that motor mount?
Very nice!
Very nice video. I am interested in Parsun but I dont have many references. After using it for a while can you recommen? thank you
How's the motor, is it good?
It doesn’t veer to one side the way it’s mounted?

hey.. not too bad.. ill go for 2hp as beginner.. im about to build a boat..
Nice!
What is k per hour?
Is that a long or short shaft?
Is this is an air-cooled 2hp motor? How much does it weigh?
Excellent. Is that a 2 hp or 2.6 ?
What was the final speed? I couldn't understand if he was reading off in knots or kilometers... big speed difference between the two, but the canoe was going plenty fast enough to get you around a lake for a bit of fishing. :)
sweet!
Gotta do it with two now, one on each side
how do you keep it balanced?
Michael Salazar just sit a little to the other side
🤘
No need to add weight up front, what you need is a hydrofoil. It's a fin that attaches just above the propeller and it will level you right out.
Is there a specific desired angle that is recommended for a stern mounted engine? Just straight on? I am a welder and have the equipment, Just wondering how it's done. Thanks.
Talking about the hydrofoil
That setup makes the canoe very tricky to steer.

What mount is that for the motor? I like it.
Georgia NFA home made 🤟
@@runningstreammx could you do a video on it please..I'd like to buy/make a mount for my 17 ft Alumacraft canoe
Oh cool
Will anyone tell me that how fast a boat can run by 2hp engine
I AM SORRY depends on gears and propeller size... id say 15 knots wide open if you’re lucky

Good power, but the Parsun is too loud. Better Choice is a brand like yamaha/ Honda / suzuki and others
It's a bit, I say it's a bit noisy, IT'S A BIT NOISY, did you get that ? IT'S NOISY !!!
😂🤣
12 ks? Is that 12 km/h or knots?
He said 12kph. Not bad! 🛶😃
@@mattwaters6987 what is kph?
looks like fun, but so loud....
Okay, for the rest of us, according to the internet that's about 7.456 mph.
You realize _you're_ the minority by far
???????12,really
yak. sounds like an airplane. or beard trimmer.
replace the water for weight with two 5 gallon pales of dry beach sand in the bow for counter balance weight.
why?
Jesse Peterson I think it’s heavier.
Water is best to use as if you capsize anything but water will take the canoe to the bottom.
AAA+++
