Sea Eagle and the Honda 2.3

the Honda 2.3 is a lightweight long shaft motor that works with many of our seagull boats this gas-powered motor will get you to those far-reaching fishing spots hi i'm kevin from seagull calm and today we'll be going over the Honda 2.3 outboard motor the motor weighs only 31 pounds has a 20 inch shaft internal fuel tank and is a four-stroke design there's no need to worry about mixing the gas and oil let's take a closer look at this fuel-efficient motor and go over all of its features the feet on the motor allow you to lay the motor on the floor without damaging it make sure to always lay it feet side down otherwise the oil will spill out the convenient carry handle allows you to pick up and carry the motor or place it on the boat it holds point 29 gallons and is easy to fill the cap simply screws on and off the knob at the top of the cap is the fuel vent when using the motor turn it clockwise to on this opens the knob and allows air to flow in and draw gas into the carburetor turn the knob counterclockwise to off for transport and storage on the side there's a fuel shutoff switch for the gas make sure to turn this off for transport and storage the motor takes regular 10w30 oil just lift the cowl open the oil cap and fill you'll need about eight ounces of oil for the initial fill you can see there is a blue upper limit line this is the maximum amount of oil you want in the motor if you're below the limit line you'll want to add some oil honda uses a very simple pull start just pull it and the motor will start right away if the engine is cold or it doesn't start in two to three attempts pull the choke and try again the red button is the kill switch just push it once to shut the engine off attached to the kill switch is the safety lanyard it is always important to attach the lanyard to your buckle life vest or wrap around your wrist in the unlikely event that you fall overboard the lanyard will pull out and the motor will automatically shut off the motor can turn 360 degrees for full steering control to go in Reverse simply spin the motor 180 degrees and flip the tiller the motor can tilt up out of the water when needed and for transport the Honda comes with a propeller and a shear pin which holds the prop in place under the power head is an extra shear pin and cotter pin the shear pin stops the propeller from rotating on the shaft the cotter pin stops it from sliding off the shaft let's take a look under the cowl the centrifugal clutch maintains a smooth idle and then when the throttle is advanced automatically engages the prop what does that mean to you the motor won't propel until you throttle up so you won't just take off when the engine starts electronic ignition system for quick and easy starts the salt water resistant honda 2.3 has been painted with a patented double sealed multi-layer paint process the sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology along with water resistant connectors enhanced the corrosion protection the Honda's already mounted to the fold cat but let me show you how easy it is to do place the motor on the mount and make sure it's centered and just tighten the bolts to secure the motor in place the hunter 2.3 is a great motor that comes with Honda's five-year warranty we highly recommend that you use it with our sea eagle fold cat stealth stalker paddle ski and se9 if you liked this video and would like to see more just click the link below to subscribe
