2 Stroke 18HP Outboard Motor, Long Shaft Outboard Motor Boat Engine, 246CC Heavy Duty Fishing Boat Marine Engine with CDI Ignition System Water Cooling System -Long Shaft

For the amount of money you pay for this outboard you can't beat this price i am in the break in period drove it about 4 hours stright iv had this item in my wishlist for awhile and was on the defense about buying it but I couldn't be more happier with this purchase I highly recommend anyone it pushes my 16 foot aluminum boat really well it's not no speed demon but I am able to get on plain .I hope eventually they will add more selections cuz I would have liked to get 30 hp or 25 hp to push my boat even better I would buy from this seller again and will of they add more hp selection I had zero issues setting this up they included a manual witch is very helpful. Lastly this isn't and actually 18hp it's a 15 hp witch is still pretty decent for the money.i will update this review upon after completing break in so far it's a solid bang for your buck Edit after break in period: still running nice and good as it should got me through a couple of shady rain storms/wind storms during the summer right now its currently in the garage until winter is over but I have well over 300 hours of runtime on this alone i have seen a 40 hp that I may end up buying on Amazon just because it can push my boat better on really windy days but this 18hp hasn't failed yet no parts broken 10/10 I would buy this again.

Nice motor works very well no need to spend all that money on Mercury, Yamaha,ect. Wish it comes with a electric starter. Works well so far this fall.

I’m running this engine on my 9’ RIB and all I can say is wow. Starts on first pull every time. Top speed of 24 mph but on that little boat it feels much faster. If your sitting the fence on buying one… get off the fence and pull the trigger. You won’t be disappointed.

Have had this motor for the past year. Initially the motor arrived with a broken keel and I should have returned it but they sent me a replacement lower housing. So what’s wrong with this motor? Aside from the shipping, the parts on this motor are super cheap. After a few months, the gas lines and connections failed. The carb was gummed up and would not run right. The plastic part like pull handle gets your hand completely black from the cheap rubber, same as throttle handle. Metal parts have started rusting badly. Yes I’m using is Florida salt water. Got another gas line and while it’s not from this seller that one only lasted a couple months and it complexly fell apart also. Now after a year the gas tank has cracks around the gas lid assembly and gas is leaking. Took it out yesterday and it as running great and all the sudden it would not start no matter what. Luckily was not to far from docks and limped back on the trolling motor. Should have never purchase this motor as it’s been nothing but a Chinese piece of junk. Maybe it’s ok on fresh water and continuous maintenance.

These outdoor Motors are the expired older versions of the Yamaha 15 horse the book itself tells you the 18 horse is actually a 15 horse but there's nothing wrong with these outboards cranks first pull every time runs great dependable best outboard you can buy for the money

Outboard came almost a week earlier than expected. Motor started on the second pull and runs perfectly. MAKE SURE YOU ADD LOWER UNIT OIL. The motor came with none and no warning about it. Fortunately I checked it before running it. This is the only reason I didn’t rate 5 stars. Great motor for the price.

This motor was easy to install on my boat and gets me to were all the fish are. Love it!!!!!!!
