SMALL LIGHTWEIGHT OUTBOARDS

Specializing in Small Aircooled Outboard Systems for Kayak, Canoe, Skiff, Sailboat, and Small Watercraft.

Our propulsion setups are available from 35cc (1.3hp) to 50cc (2.0hp) engine sizes and only weigh 23lbs with fuel. The outboards are lightweight and easy to install and maintain. These air-cooled outboards make exceptional small motors for many styles of watercraft. Clients in the kayak fishing, paddling, sailing, hunting, boating, and firefighting communities have used these small dependable air-cooled setups to take propulsion to a whole other level. These setups can be stored in small spaces and require a fraction of the maintenance of a traditional outboard. Air-cooled, no impellers, and no worries of your battery adding unneeded weight and cumbersome wiring to the fun.



KAYAK BUDDYS is dedicated to custom engine and propulsion configurations. If you have a special requirement, inquire, we can help with the build if you are local or simply point you in the right direction for customization.



Recently we have been dabbling with self-contained electric powerheads with factory battery packs from ECHO, EARTHWISE and EGO (4 Square driveshafts) and the results have been fantastic. As the technology in brushless motors gets better, we will be utilizing all styles of compact power on our engine legs.



Disclaimer:



We currently stock genuine Honda GX Series 4-stroke 35cc and now the Honda GX Series 4-stroke 50cc. Honda quality is the best in the market and are the leaders in dependable mini 4-stroke engine powerheads.



All upgraded engine legs are custom built by KAYAK BUDDYS and not a turned around mass-produced product with low quality and minimal durability. We use our products and make sure it can hold up to rigorous usage with minimal maintenance. Our hands touch all of these units and all black steel and lower quality components are removed. These are not eBay or Amazon specials and will never be sold on eBay or Amazon in the upgraded format with real Honda engines. That is a fact. From Shimano shifters, stainless throttle cables, billet connectors, jag wire Teflon lined throttle cable housings, and cast 2 bladed aluminum props with stainless collars, there is no other small watercraft outboard business that goes to this extent to get the product right in our humble opinion.



Plus, our customer service rocks.
