  In a plastic boat 4.60 with 4 people, for 3 months now, every Saturday for about 3 hours, trolling with 5.00 euros of fuel with the 15-horsepower Mercury engine. As for the port authority, I declared it normally. The only downside is the noise

  I got it as an auxiliary for my boat, storing it in the compartment for use in case of emergency. In the tests I did outside the water, it works well, with relative noise and smoke. For the purpose I got it, it is an excellent purchase, considering its low price.

  I use it at 2.30 by 1.10 tricycle. It works well with two people. The only problem is that if I touch the handlebar with a wet hand, it slightly shocks me with the moving current. Other than that, it suits me.

  Well...

  It accelerates... indeed... it might be 5.8hp as it claims...
  Crazy noise... especially at high speeds...
  There is no measuring cup for the oil or anything else
  for assistance... it simply tells you 40 parts gasoline to 1 part two-stroke oil
  and you figure it out yourself with the 1.5-liter tank... if it's even that much...???
  Do the three-step method and tell me too...
  It FOULS the spark plug with all that implies... you can't go anywhere
  without a spark plug... or at least sandpaper...
  Very light, only 10 kilos... a big thing...!!!!
  It DOESN'T GO FAR as it is... if someone has found something else, let me know
  They sent me an invoice to go to the port authority... and the instructions are TERRIBLE in Greek
  Google translation... the ultimate disgrace... SHAME, I'm telling you...
  It's a simple form of a 60cc two-stroke engine
  It needs two-stroke oil from a gas station
  It doesn't need oil for a lawnmower, etc.
  CAUTION all the screws come loose easily...
  CAUTION put a safety rope so it doesn't fall into the sea
  Also, IT'S NOT WRITTEN ON THE LICENSE at the Port Authority... I went to ask before
  getting it and they said yes... and I went after I got it and they told me that they checked it and without a serial
  number (it doesn't have one) IT DOESN'T PASS... it's certain now...

  Two months now and it's going well.
  The longest route I took was from Kamena Vourla to Lichadonisia across. With the Seahawk 4, I went with 1 Beaufort and returned with 3 Beaufort. If the storm caught me, it would tear me apart.
  I did this twice.

  I bought the machine and it's great. However, it doesn't have the horsepower it should. The store deceived me and even though they told me it's registered, unfortunately, it's not registered because these machines don't have a serial number. Just informing you about this

  I tried it for the first time on 25/7/2022 with no prior experience in outboard engines on a boat, specifically the Intex Seahawk 4, which, for those who don't know, does not have a keel. The good thing was that the engine did not require any assembly, it was simply plug and play (out of the box).

  1. Yes, it makes noise, but that's the nature of two-stroke engines, so we can't consider that a negative point (at full throttle, you can communicate by shouting loudly). A comparable four-stroke engine is much heavier, especially for this type of boat, so this plays a role!

  2. It takes regular unleaded gasoline from the gas station, and the oil I used is not specifically designed for outboard engines but for tools like lawnmowers and chainsaws, as I was told in my market research that the engine is the same as a lawnmower's. I bought expensive oil, 1 liter, and not more, because it requires a very small amount, so 1 liter is more than enough.

  3. The speed it reaches, based on my expectations, is very satisfactory (we're talking about the sea here), and it turns in any desired direction with great ease. Because I've had a lot of experience rowing in this boat, with or without the engine, it's like day and night...

  4. For anyone who wants to mount it on an Intex engine mount, they should know that they will need to increase the thickness of the base because the Intex base is intended for their own electric motor, while this engine is designed to attach to a thicker base. So, by placing, for example, a piece of wood with a thickness of 2-3 cm in between (something that anyone might have at home), we can easily solve the problem.

  Quite good outboard for light boats. I have used it for 7-10 hours now without any problem. I always take an extra gasoline can with me. It is a two-stroke, so the sound is distinctive, but personally, I like the two-stroke engine.

  Very good machine for its size and price. It is small, lightweight, and has enough power for small inflatables. Obviously, it's not suitable for going fishing from Athens to the Dodecanese, but it's perfect for fun in small boats around or as an auxiliary for safety.

  For the money, it's FANTASTIC. I've had it for 2 months, I've worn it 8 times and so far it's PERFECT. I highly recommend it !!! :)
