Ancheer Outboard Motor

[Prophammer]

Has anyone heard of Ancheer Outboard Motors ? Who makes them & where (China I suppose). Does the manufacturer have a web site? I've seen Ancheer on Amazon under Outboard Motor. Any info will be appreciated. I accidentally put this same post in inboards, sorry

The post has been taker care of, Prop.

This thing looks remarkably like a Hangkai. Wonder if it's a remarketing of them. And Ancheer sells a lot of other, for lack of a better word - Junk.

Two things.

The name sounds too much like anchor. Not a good image for a motor.

This Y tube review might be relevant or irreverent.

Looks like there may be better options for low cost Asia motors.

Is the Ancheer motor a 2 legged dog or just a dog? LOL

The Youtube vid title and video don't go together, :smile. The next one up was for a Hangkai, which I think is the same motor with different markings.

I was looking at this one which does resemble the Hangkai

What is the purpose for you?

Maybe grab an old johnny 5 HP and clean it up. Will last forever, might cost less and parts are available.

I use a small outboard on a Indian River square back canoe, great for small rivers. I have a 40 (4hp) Mercury from 1979, still runs but salt water ate up the cooling passages, I'm afraid to get too far from home with it, Then I also had a 1997 Johnson 3.3, ran like a sewing machine but the frame of it wasn't holding up, it was shaking itself apart frame wise. But then I left it in my dad's shed.... the shed got struck by lightning and burned the 3.3, some oars and a bunch of other stuff to a crisp. The 3.3 Johnson was made over-there some where, so this one is too I guess

If I could run across a 5, I would've done that, I think its too late

The cowling pictured top above has vents, bad idea, water will go in the vents at times, not good to have it vented like that., the lower picture 4 has a better lid

 

[Prophammer]

But I still wonder who makes Hangkai and Ancheer or if they are the same, I don't know

 

[Prophammer]

Well,,,,,,,,,, couldn't get a clear answer about Ancheer, so........ one is on its way to my house. I'll bee the........ guinea pig, I'll let you all know how it turns out. I ordered a 4 hp Ancheer Outboard 2 stroke, stay tuned more to come.....

It came in, Runs Good, Prep included 90w gear oil added to foot, Briggs & Stratton 5018H gas screen on gas line. Break-in 25:1 for 10 hours then mix back to 50:1, I'm using Valvoline TCW3 2 stroke marine oil.

Does it say anywhere on it, or in the paper work, who actually makes it?

 

[Prophammer]

Oddly enough I can't find any supporting information other than the owners manual. Although the motor is described on cowl as 4.0 HP the owners manual calls it a T3.5, the first paragraph in manual thanks you for choosing a Shunfeng outboard. I can't find a mfg. label or serial number anywhere on it. It seems very familiar like its a patent copy of a discontinued 2 stroke. But it does run good! See YouTube

I hope it runs good for a long, long time. Sounds like finding parts for it will be a nightmare.

The starter rope seems to be it's weakest point, I already got to the end of the rope while starting, if it snaps, then the fun begins
