Briggs and Stratton outboard boat motor strapped and mow down to the bottom of the lake.

The boat had been sitting out on the sea for some months, and dogs hose and kippered not hold up under had covered 1/3 of the locomotive. I didn´t value it was effective ...

Heinemann loved to design and tinker Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Stefan Heinemann Sr. was a 38-year Briggs & Stratton wage-earner who loved to raise and dabble - one of a variety of skilled workmen that a ballot this month found increasingly scant in the Joint States.
He designed and built an old riding turf mower in the 1940s - one his family says predated the first such mowers on the customer base - but never got a trade name for it.
He built the edifice in Brookfield where his people lived.
And he built three boats, and in 1946 in use accustomed to one of them to spare the lives of five boaters whose vocation had flipped over on a roughneck Lake Koshkonong.
Heinemann died Dec. 22 of pneumonia and congestive core deficiency at age 92.
In the 1940s and original '50s, Heinemann and his household lived with his old lady's parents on N. 38th St. in Milwaukee's Merrill Commons neighborhood, and he puke his small notwithstanding in the garage or the attic, intriguing and structure his projects. The one the family was proudest of was the turf mower, which had a plywood assemblage and looked something like a accounted for right-day golf wagon.
what do you guys think about the Briggs & Stratton 5 HP Outboard?
i need your opinion on this boat motor if its good quality for the price
Poor quality, poor warranty, poor parts and service network, did i miss anything? Oh yeah, noisy and ugly. But thats just an opinion, its your call.
It will probably do every thing the manufacturer claims, and is a long established brand. They are for fresh water only, so they will rot fast if in saltwater or neglected.
They appear basic and heaps easier than rowing!
I would not buy one.

owned one...glad to get rid of it. good running motor...but if you tilt it, you get oil in the carb, just like when you're working on a lawnmower. They don't tell you that little bit of info. Then, when you pull the rope, you get oil in the cylinder and you can't pull the rope. Feels like its froze up.Cure is to take plug out, loosen the carburetor bowl bolt and pump the gas hose bulb until you have clean gas coming out. Pull starting rope a few times to clear oil. Reinstall the plug and pull starting rope. After smoke clears, motor should run fine. Always store and carry motor standing upright.....fwiw
I'm not going to comment about the quality since I don't own one, and actually didn't know B&S was into outboards now. I do have a short story that is related.
Years ago, I think around '92 or '93, one of the corporate pilots in my department asked if I could do some machining for him. I had a home machine shop at the time and said, sure!
He lived on a small lake and owned a small boat that he fished out of. He brought to my house, the lower leg (I'm not a power boater) of an ancient 18 horse (something or other brand) engine. The engine had failed long ago and parts were expensive and you know how cheap pilots are...
Anyway, the lower unit was just fine and he had also just purchased a brand new 11 hp B&S vertical shaft, electric start lawn mower engine. Without a lot of detail, I mated the two (no test tubes involved) and he absolutely loved it.
He got a brand new engine with electric start with plenty of horsepower for his boat on that lake, cheap.
The corporate flight department we worked in had a policy of changing out the two huge gell cell batteries (24VDC) in each of the jets every year, regardless of condition. Stupid.
So, someone ended up with two of these batteries, one of which I modified by drilling into the top surface and tapping a pair of large screws into the lead plate at the correct positions effectively turning the battery into two 12VDC batteries.
That way, he could have plenty of power to operate his trolling motor for hours and hours and still have the other half to fire up the B&S. He could always pull start the engine if needed.
And the engines I looked at on the B&S website look shockingly identical to what I modified into existence for my friend. Imagine a big red and black lawn mower engine on a small jonboat. Ugly does come to mind.

Having worked at Bass pro shops in Garlaand,Texas I have sold anywhere from 5 to ten of them and everyone of them came back either leaking oil , gas , or just flat would not run . Can't be swapped for new one , it msust be packaged and sent back to factory for repair. Don't waste your money , go lahead and spend the extra and get a mercury , or yamaaha .
It runs, but it's not in the same class as Evinrude, Johnson, Tohatsu, Nissan, Yamaha. Basically you're getting a lawnmower engine with a propeller. Expect more noise, harder starting and much shorter life. OK for the lake, but you'll be happier with a used 2 cycle conventional outboard. Five years from now it will still be running, while the B&S, may be just a hunk of rust.
What is the mpg on a typical 5hp outboard motor?
I am looking at a 14' Jon boat and a 5hp Briggs & Stratton outboard motor. Total weight of the boat, with passengers and gas will be about 450 lbs. If I'm using about 2/3 to 3/4 of the throttle, how much gas is this engine going to consume per mile/per hour? Thanks for any help!
I am looking at a 14' Jon boat and a 5hp Briggs & Stratton outboard motor. Total weight of the boat, with passengers and gas will be about 450 lbs. The hull shape curves up, but it's square (as in it isn't a "V" shaped hull) Also, let's say there isn't any headwind. If I'm using about 2/3 to 3/4 of the throttle, how much gas is this engine going to consume per hour? Thanks for any help!
The best answer is 2 1/2 gal. per hour of running time, the speed of the boat will be maybe 8 even 10 MPH. Good luck!
all will depend on the above water air resistance of the boat, underwater drag, how heavily laden the boat is,the pitch of the prop and any headwind; for starters.
Marine motors and other applications of power units are measured by operating hours, not miles. A typical five hp motor might get one or two hours per gallon.
The speed of a boat depends more on the length and shape of the hull than on the power of the motor.
You need to follow the answers specifying fuel consumption per hour, not per mile.

I have a 1456 triton flat bottom> with a 15HP johnson> It planes with 2 at 20 mph> seems like your idea will be a bit better than oars> Don't think you would be happy unless you like slow> You will use more gas per distance than my 15>And take for ever to get there>
