Capral 6HP Outboard

aero3113 · January 2020

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!! 😂

Very interesting. Let us know what you get!

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?

aero3113 · January 2020

It will be used in salt water.

PickleRick · January 2020

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.

PickleRick · January 2020

It would be easy to dip in a bucket after each use.

aero3113 · January 2020

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.

Stodge · January 2020

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.

My daughter lives in Fredrick. Just say'n

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.

aero3113 · January 2020

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

randy56 · January 2020

If nothing else you can hang it on the wall for boating decor. cool looking

PickleRick · January 2020

Am i the only one who has 2 or 3 half empty cans of bottom paint on the shelf???? Lol

aero3113 · January 2020

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

PickleRick · January 2020

It just needs to be copper free.

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

PickleRick · January 2020

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

GMSLITHO · January 2020

I also ordered one today but tonight the listing is removed from e bay so we will see what happens

aero3113 · January 2020

Let us know if you receive a “shipped” notification.

GMSLITHO · January 2020

I just looked on eBay and the seller is removed from the site

aero3113 · January 2020

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).

aero3113 · January 2020

I just checked, he’s still on eBay. Isn’t selling any more outboards though.

GMSLITHO · January 2020

Funny mine was a different seller .same motor same price

GMSLITHO · January 2020

Just got a email it shipped should be here end of month

aero3113 · January 2020

Not bad if it shows up, mine said March.

Howdy, Stranger!
