Two years later this motor is going strong kzitem.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

A typical loss in jet outboards is 1/3 the motors rated horse power. I run a 60/90. 60 hp power at the jet with a 90 hp power head. Jet outboards in a river is all about "how shallow you can go" because there is no gearbox or prop below the bottom of the boat. With a 60hp at the jet my LOWES 1760 w/ a tunnel hull runs between 30 and 35 mph upstream in a 6 mph current. But remember avoiding obstacles in a river at speed is a challenge, but it is the speed that keeps you on top of the water running with minimal draft. It's like a game of "chicken" It is not "if you hit something" it's more of a matter of when. Yes my boat has some dents and has been welded. For your lake fishing....ditch the "jet" idea and run a prop. It's has a much better efficiency ratio letting you cover more area fishing. 😎

Some have said it already but I'll say it and explain it. The jet output needs to be above the water. Do that and you'll go faster. The reason is that when you shoot the jet out under the water, the water itself is resistance. It's as if you were blocking the jet with your hand. Look at any video of a boat with a jet drive and you'll see they all have the jet spraying out above the surface of the water. Please try this again with the motor mounted higher so the jet shoots out into the air. It looks like the mounting bracket allows for easy height adjustment, and it's probably for the very reason I explained. It might be a bit of a balancing act to get the intake deep enough to not suck in air and the output high enough to spray into the air, but I guarantee it will go faster! I subbed and I'm hoping you do a follow-up video!

That set up works great all day, even going 12 miles up river to a Lake where most boats can't go & running the nav lights, so I can be there at first light. I have a 14' flatback canoe & a Bass Raider 10E. I get 7mph with my canoe & 5mph with my Bass Raider, going up wind & up river, loaded with 2 heavy people. (about 10-12mph down wind & down river). FYI: I always go up river first incase I breakdown, which happened once when the fuse blew & I didn't pack a spare, paddling down river is much easier.

jets lose about 30% in HP reduction due to inefficiency in propulsion. 60hp jet drive is really a 90hp motor or vice versa. 5hp probably runs at 3 HP. Other factors like the impeller and how close it is to the sleeve (wall) can greatly effect performance. Jet impellers need to be adjusted for very tight tolerance to get maximum thrust. There are other factors as well. I am sure if you put more juice to that thing you could get a little more out of it but if you're looking for performance you go with a prop.

I filed and shimmed the flywheel key because it came ignition too far advanced. I swapped out the centrifugal clutch springs for light ones, so any running speed is under power. The propeller got a hand finish, for a big increase in thrust and drag reduction. It will troll on 7 ounces an hour and light cruise on 10 - 20 ounces of gas. 20W50oil and 85W140 gear oil for the bottom. I filed inside burs and stuck a swiffer mop handle in the handle so i can steer from the middle bench. Don't get a 2 cycle. Don't get water cooled. Don't get an electric, nor a trolling motor. There's also a 36 CC four cycle for crazy light power.

One thing to consider is a jet motor performs about 1/2 the amount of HP. So if you have a 90HP jet motor you're typically running 45HP amd that is a gas engine. If you're running a 5hp electric motor, I'd say the best you're getting is 2.5hp. An electric prop trolling motor will do a little better.

You can get a Minn Kota that performs better, in the same price range. A Jet boat is less efficient than one with a prop, as far as speed goes.

I went to Sears back in the day and bought a trolling motor it had 17 lb. Thrust with a car battery hooked to it. With me and my wife in a 6 ft. Jon boat it went pretty good all day and it cost a hundred and some odd bucks.

@@KevinSmith-os5yz I had a lot of fun with that little boat. I had a Toyota at the time. I put roof racks on it and could throw that boat into any canal. Took the battery out the car. My wife would drive the boat with the troller and I could fish out the front good times.

I just returned our 55lbs thrust Minn kota because it drained a 180 amp hour deep cycle in 5 min! How did you get all day on your? Was it just a regular starting battery? is that where we went wrong? We had it attached to a paddle boat. Please respond back. Thanks

The 10hp electric HANGKAI model is listed as 60V 38A(rated current) = 2280w (rated as 2.2KW) Whilst the 8hp electric HANGKAI model is listed as 48V 50A(rated current) = 2400W (again rated as 2.2KW) What is the reason for the discrepancy? Is the 10hp model more powerful?

props are generally more efficient and faster than jets, unless/until you get into very high speed, then jets can be faster because they don't have the drag of the prop shaft, skeg, rudder, etc...

If it were me I would buy a Minnkota trolling motor that operates on 12 V. You can get one for $120 that has 30 pound thrust. I’m pretty sure it would go faster than 3 mph.

Couple of things, I looked this thing up on Amazon. It says it's rated at 4HP, and 1000W. 1000W is about 1.35 horsepower. Hmmm. If your voltage is at 50 when the motor is running full out, it's not the battery. Generally jets are for shallow water like rivers. They are fundamentally less efficient than propeller, usually by a good 25%. I hunt in rivers, so I have some interest in a little jet, but I think I need at least twice the power of this thing to get value from it. Thanks for the review.

Jet outboard is not efficient as a prop outboard in the same HP. Ya, a side by side would be cool to watch. LOL you called that one an engine too. Right when you were about to show us the batteries. Bet you did that on purpose. LOL love it.

It's not a 5HP motor. It’s rated at 1000 Watts that's 1.34HP. The Amp draw is about 21 Amps. The Battery is 14Ah so max time is about 40 minutes of total time while on. The battery is way undersized but probably didn’t effect top speed much just run time. Manufacturer recommends 30-100Ah while you had 14Ah. You know the motor is junk and overrated when they hide the thrust. You could have figured out the pounds of thrust with a digital Luggage scale hooked to a rope held back by the dock. The jet is a gimmick and you would have way more thrust with a prop drawing the same Watts. You didn’t even have life jackets on or even in the boat!

Great video! I can tell you that motor is not even 1 HP. 1 HP is about 750 electrical watts, so a 4 HP electric motor would draw at least 3000 watts, or 48 VDC at about 60-65 amps. That would have killed your 12 amp, 48 V battery in about 4 minutes. Still a pretty good value, especially since you were able to get 5 mph with 2 people in the Jon boat and your 12 amp battery lasted for so long. Amazing!

Cool video. I’d also recommend much beefier wires at that amperage/voltage - 10AWG would probably be okay. Expensive, but would give you better performance and won’t melt on you. Be careful to get copper and not copper clad aluminum.

Possible double your battery bank increases the amps available to the motors possibly then you might reach the rated hp. And hit 6mph
