  • Powerful 18HP Water-Cooled Engine: This 18hp outboard motor has reliable power with its 246cc 2-stroke core. The advanced water-cooling system ensures optimal heat dissip-ation, providing consistent performance and greater durability during long trips or heavy-duty tasks compared to air-cooled models

Its a perfect match for fishing boats, rubber dinghies, inflatables, kayaks, and small sailboats, offering easy installation and immediate use.
  • Efficient CDI Ignition & Responsive Control: The integrated CDI ignition system ensures quicker starts, better fuel efficiency, and longer spark plug life. Combined with a responsive twist-grip throttle and F-N-R gearbox, it offers precise maneuvering and easy docking.
  • Large Tank for Extended Range & Portable Durability: Comes with a 24L large fuel tank for longer adventures. Its compact design, lightweight build (approx. 38.6kg), and anti-corr-osive treatment make it both portable and durable for use in both fresh and saltwater.
  • Reliable & Easy Maintenance: Features a simple, dependable manual start mechanism and easy-maintenance design. The manual tilt aids in shallow-water operation and transportation. For best performance: Always use a 50:1 fuel mix with quality 2-stroke outboard oil.

  • Consider your State’s requirements
The media could not be loaded. I had issues registering this as my state requires it for outboards. I was able to create and “official bill of sale with the SN on my computer, but they really wanted a certificate that looks like a title etc with a watermark. I recommend that you consider this. Had they said no at DNR, I would have been forced to make a decision to get a refund..what a pain in the ass that would be or I would have just risked riding dirty. I reached out to the company and ask that they please just provide the customer with a certificate with the SN for this who need it. Otherwise I am happy with its appearance. Looks like a Mercury..I’m sure folks will have to look twice and I may be the first to register one in SC. I have not used it yet and had planned to do a review later, but I felt it important to help some folks out. I tested the motor out in the garage following the break in instructions using a 25:1 mix. Ran good. I’ll post an update once I get it out on the water. Update: Took it out and ran it at the lake. It did well. In my 16ft Lowe Jon, we were able to get 15.7MPR with 4 people and gear. I think it might do 20+ if I went solo. I will post an update eventually when I make it back out. ... show more
