I followed the instruction given by the two workers at the machinery shop and found the Outboard Motor Repair Workshop. The workshop is located near to the Mersing River and it is quite near to the town.

The foreman was quite busy when I reached there, his workshop is full of outboard waiting to be repaired. He told me to wait as he was in the middle of fixing something onto a lower unit.

While waiting I found out that if I wanted to upgrade to a better and bigger capacity outboard, I should come to Malaysia. According to him the price of the Yamaha and Mercury outboard, both 5hp respectively are sold at Malaysia Ringgit $4,700. Which is Singapore Dollars $1,740 based on the exchange rate of 2.70. It will cost lesser today as current exchange rate is S$1 to M$3, I can save S$174!

When the foreman finally free he went on to inspect my Hangkai 3.5hp Outboard Motor. It seems that he is not used to repair something this small capacity, this can be told from those huge outboard motors that are in the workshop. He was quite confused on how the Hangkai spins the propeller.

After some checking and inspecting, he remove the lower unit gearbox cover. Nothing wrong was spotted and he assumed that the drive shaft is either loosen or broken. The foreman suggested to leave the Hangkai Outboard Motor at his workshop and he will dismantle the whole unit to have a thorough check. I was left with no other option and agreed to his  proposal.

I was regretted as I made that decision that day. The foreman didn't call or text me although he promised. I assumed that he was busy and waited for one week and when I called him the reply is shocking! He haven't got the time to do anything on my Hangkai.

The whole drama dragged for three weeks and I figured that enough is enough, I drove up to Mersing to collect back my Hangkai Outboard Motor, I made another fishing trip at the same time which will featured in the future video.

When I returned home I decided to use what ever knowledge I have and with some help from YouTube videos, I dismantle the Hangkai Outboard Motor. Which I eventually found out what was faulty, the drive shaft was jammed on the Water Impeller Housing.

In the previous video I dismantled the gear box (lower unit) of the Hangkai 2 Stroke 3 5 HP Outboard Motor and I did some cleaning including flushing the gear box, new gear oil was topped up.

In this final part I removed the housing of the Hangkai 2 Stroke 3 5 HP Outboard Motor and I dismantled certain parts, the housing was washed clean with dish detergent and rinse with clean tap water. The Air filter was removed and cleaned, due to the jerking occurred on my last trip I decided to check on the spark plug, a bit dense and carbon was built up on the spark plug, it was replaced with a new one which I bought in the later day.

Initial thought was to have the Carburetor stripped and serviced, when I opened up the Air Filter housing I found that it is very clean, probably due to low usage, I did some minor cleaning with a cotton bud. The Water Cooling System was checked and I used a vacuum cleaner to suck out any fine sand that mind trapped inside.

Lastly the whole engine was vacuum clean and a wet cloth was used to wipe clean the external.

Took my Intex Seahawk II and this Hangkai 2 Stroke 3 5 HP Outboard Motor  that was just serviced to Kampung Mawar at Malaysia to try out the performance and fishing, the result? Stay tuned for the next video!

I bought this China Made Hangkai 2 Strokes 3.5 hp Outboard Motor almost a year ago, this is the most affordable brand that I could find and after reading some reviews (quite many are bad reviews), I decided to purchase this cheap outboard to pair with my Intex Seahawk II Inflatable boat.

My Initial thought was to have a small outboard motor which I can get familiar with, I planned to get a better and bigger power outboard in the later stage. The China Made products have the reputation of not lasting and the workmanship is poor as well, so it was not surprising that when this Hangkai 3.5 hp Outboard Motor arrived, some oil stain was found at the gear box.

A 2 cm long crack was found on the gear box housing which caused the gear oil leakage, after a few emails the seller agreed to ship a brand new gear box housing to me with no cost. Although I was delighted but the confidence of using the Hangkai 3.5 hp Outboard Motor on the sea was reduced, as I couldn't help but thinking what would come next?

The shipment took another 3 weeks and when it arrived I had to dismantle the crack gear box housing and installed the new gear box housing, the cost for getting it done was too much and I figured that I could handle it with no sweat.

How wrong was I as it was more complicated than I could thought of, with no proper tools especially the Bearing Extractor, I struggled a lot on the whole process, fortunately I managed to get it done.

I finally paired the Hangkai 3.5 hp Outboard Motor with the Intex Seahawk II Inflatable Boat at Air Papan beach, surprisingly the first test survived with the Hangkai 3.5 hp Outboard Motor being tortured for almost 5 hours!

The Hangkai 3.5 hp Outboard Motor was eventually being used for the next two fishing trips and it started to give warning sign. On the last fishing trip I had at Air Papan beach it stalled intermittently, it vibrated viciously and was jerking on the full throttle. I was forced to cut short the fishing trip, what a let down!

I browsed back those reviews I read and found similar issues on other users and it seems like a common issue, with the help from the almighty Google Search I managed to get some solutions, a servicing and checking on various parts is needed.

Hence this video was created which I stripped off the gear box housing and replaced the gear box oil, which I am quite familiar with it now : ) , a thorough check on the fuel pipes, spark plug and the water cooling system was done too.

Now I am waiting to get it tested on the sea again this week and hopefully I do not needed to start searching for a new outboard motor soon.

Stay tuned for the next video on the cleaning and checking on the internal compartment of the Hangkai 3.5 hp Outboard Motor.
