Zodiac Inflatable With 5 hp Nissan Outboard

[62ermaFF]

I have the same motor someone gave to me i caint get it to run.... Carb needs to be rebuilt it has been sittin a couple years now and i wana fix it. i have a 8ft game fisher aluminum boat. Looks like you are movin pretty good looks like a blast. Last week we reinforced the transom of the 8ft and put a 2008 15hp johnson toped out at 46 knots!! aprox weight 320 lbs in the boat i drove (im about 140 ) and my friend sat in the bow hes about 180 lbs. plan to post a video need a nice glass day... lol

@62ermaFF A 15hp on an 8 footer?! That must be amazing! I'll be watching for your video. A good cleaning of your carb should do the trick to get your motor going again.

[62ermaFF]

@RadCouncil i dont have a fuel tank yet but manuely poured a shot of gas into the carb and it fires right up but i did try cleaning it a awhile back and didnt seem to help?? Im not sure what year it is caint find it on the motor doesnt say on serial plate. if i did put it on the 8ft what speed do you think i will reach the 15 hp is exactly safe.... to take out the 5hp might be a better option for fishing and duck hunting lol

[MrNerf98]

[andymayiask]

@Claasinator001

Das glaube ich auch!

"That is a dream. Flat water (calm). And the boat glides over the water."

I agree.

[bluetitnestbox]

Why weren't you wearing the kill cord? Very silly indeed.

[skyelevator]

@bluetitnestbox , You bicycle helmet wearing window licking short bus riding candyass. Still tied to mommies apron strings are we? Put down the Oprah magazine and grow a pair.

[bluetitnestbox]

@skyelevator You are the one who needs to grow up. I'm the person who's going to be laughing when you fall out and get run over by your own boat. Grow up.

I have a Honda 5 HP 4 Stroke Long Shaft and when you put it at full throttle the whole front of the boat just goes up and wont even/plane out. And I try to keep as much weight out of the boat for being such a small engine.

[chickendog2009]

Hi,

I am planing to buy an outboard like this. How much was the total weight and could the boat get on plane? Did you use hydrofoil?

[sailor628]

total weight onboard was ~200. No hydrofoil. With that it totally got on a plane fairly easily.

[69jpa953]

is it possible to go on a complete plain ? Or do you have to sit up towards the front of the boat?

[sailor628]

It helps to move forward a little to help it get on a plane but I don't have to go all the way to the bow.

[xxliam96xx]

what price could i get a decent 5hp for ?

[boatbros23]

@xxliam96xx new about $1,600

[mojosmadness2]

@boatbros23 do you have to blow it up with air once in awhile

[boatbros23]

@mojosmadness2 sometimes. over time (like a few years of use) they may devoloup slow leaks.

[boatbros23]

what is your top speed??? nice motor

[sailor628]

I took my little GPS out with me the other day. I got up to 13 knots with 170 pounds onboard on flat water. It is a great little motor. It just sips the gas.

is that at the end of ediz hook? great video btw

[robertmartinez]

I have a 1999 Nissan four stroke 5 HP and it doesn't sound that nice. What year is yours? I know that one manufacturer makes several brand names, though. So even though we have the same "Nissan" brand, our motors may have been made by different factories even if they were the same year.

[bojons911]

nice moter i have a 6hp 2004 tohatsu and they rock

[shrimpersdurango123]

Hey Buddy Cool Nice Motor Check my Little Clip out

[Chainsawfh10]

i have a boat like that but i dont have engine i jut use it when i go fishing

[jamesbondxxx]

does an inflatble boat with a motor on it be registered in order to operate it?

[sailor628]

only if you want to do it legally. otherwise just put some gas in it and go. keep your transom aimed at the authorities.

[robertmartinez]

I didn't know you needed to register a small inflatable simply because you have a motor on it? Is that a State Law for your particular State? I'm in CA.....

[geoBM818]

yes sir,any boat under power needs registration.... if it uses only oars then no.

[robertmartinez]

So, the answer is yes. But, are you in CA or is it a law in some other state as well?

[chadwick828]

4 stroke or 2. is it tuned

[douro20]

@chadwick828

Four-stroke. I don't know if it's been hopped up, but I don't think so.

[randomstooge]

thats a lil pinna( get a bigger outboard), mine is 4 metres and has a 20 :)

[alisdlt]

how fast can you go with a 5 hp motor?

[LMF5000]

beautiful. I just love small boats. It's amazing how fast yours seems to go with just 5hp. Your outboard engine is pretty quiet too! Nice!

[douro20]

@LMF5000

It's a Zodiac. They are extremely light; lighter than any aluminum fishing boat. That is why they can go very fast with a small motor.

[atomicsaladbowl]

how fast can you get with that 5hp, and how big is that boat?

[sailor628]

It'll plane really easy with one person onboard. It's a slow plane with 2. I think the boat is around 10 foot.
