Capral 6HP Outboard

in General Boating Discussions
So, I was looking around eBay yesterday and came across this outboard (wasn’t looking for one). Saw the price (LoL) and looked into it some more. Supposedly it’s a Yamaha knockoff. I don’t know what’s up with the price but went ahead and tried to order it. Earlier in the day it wasn’t allowing me to buy, there was a message that popped up. I tried later in the day and it took my “buy it now”. Then last night when I was eating dinner, I received a shipped notification and that it should be arriving March 4th. If I actually receive an outboard motor for $24.79 and free shipping, I will be pleasantly surprised!! 😂

    Pretty awesome that the motor is half the price of the hydrofoil that I put on my 6hp Yamaha.

    Looks very interesting, didn't relazie it was a 4 stroke.   Will you be using it in fresh or salt water?

    Some of the reviews ive read on the China knock offs say the paint goes quickly in salt water, a little bottom coat before you dip her might be a good preventative to keep her looking good below the water line and a food flush in a bucket after each use.

    It would only be in the water for a couple hours at a time and will be rinsed as soon as it comes out. It’s something I’ll keep in mind, and decide if I’ll paint it.

    Yes, it would be easy to do that. If this thing shows up, I’ll be psyched. LoL!

    I'm on the look out for a Lehr 2.5hp propane motor.  Want one for my next long trip.

    I have a buddy that has one he is going to sell...but's a long way between Annapolis & St Clair.  My dock neighbor may be buying it from him.  It's a nice motor and the 2.5 is great for getting you to shore.

    For the big trip in 2021 I just need to get to shore.  I have a RIB with a 8hp for weekend boating.  Too heavy for a long trip.

    Paint?  Freshwater rinse?  The motor will quit running way before corrosion becomes a problem.  At $25, just buy four of them and treat them as consumables.

    LoL! Very true. The paint will cost more than the motor!

    I thought bottom paint shouldn’t be used on drives and outboards?

    It just needs to be copper free.

    Makes sense, I believe all of mine have copper in it.

    A few states have outlawed it, others can still get it.

    Oh boy, LoL! I might have spent $25 just to start a thread on the forum! LoL (eBay is pretty good with refunds if it doesn’t show up).
