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

Great advice. I would add: Check the weather and change your plans accordingly. Have enough fuel for rule of thirds: one third out, one third back, one third in reserve. Tell someone where you are going and when you should return. Use the kill cord, wear a life vest.

All good tips. I would add: although the anchor goes over the bow when it is in use, stow it at the stern when not in use. It clatters about less. Those hinged wheels can be left in the neutral position so that they float on the surface of the water. Ever so slightly more drag than if they are fully raised, but they are less likely to be in the way of the engine when doing tight manoeuvres, and they are quicker to deploy when coming into the shallows solo. On a windy day, at very slow speed, the propeller effect makes the boat easier to turn one way than the other. Work with it: it's sometimes better to do an easy 270 degree turn than fight the wind to turn 90 degrees. Some boats have a drainage valve in the transom. Don't leave it open at low speeds or when anchored. Check and clean it from time to time. If you're setting up a boat with a sectional wooden floor, put the bow up on something (the fuel tank is ideal) before putting the last 2 sections in place.

Tried to beach my sib, but it stopped a few meters short. I stepped overboard expecting knee deep water, next thing i know, i'm totally submerged under the boat with the automatic safety vest hissing and pushing and disorienting me. Nobody saw it, thank God, but still very embarrassing! Tip 6 : lose the vest as soon as it is safe to do so, or put it on manual deploy......

Ty for that just starting getting into boating. Good advice to not get out. Had the experience in a canoe as a kid. We ran aground on a shallow sand spot and I got out to push it. It was sink sand. Was able to get out because I had loose water boots on but it got sketchy. Also learned to check the shore and wait before getting out if in a forest environment. The bushes sometimes have furry surprises
