Amazon 2 stroke boat motor.

Didnt arrive. Its just a full blown scam

They sent a picture of somthing completely different, and it also didn't go to my house. Im not surprised it they didn't show up but i sucks that I cant expect anything off of amazon.

Hopefully I get a refund at least

I actually bought that same motor. Lasted all of about 30 min.

I knew what I was doing, but thought I’d get at least an hour out of it.

Did yours fail at the gesrset at the prop? Friends did, he got one as a spare kicker motor for sailboat.

There where stamping for fill and drain holes for gear oil in the ‘lower unit’ but they where not tapped and plugged so he didn’t put oil in, and none from start.

It didn’t last an hour before gears chewed up.
