Honda or Bark> - use weldingThis increases strength, but requires more careful handling during storage.

Key series of boats:

Outboard Motors tiller Land: technical specifications and certification

Motors. tiller Land are available in the range of capacities from 2.5 to 20 hp.And all of them -- two-stroke (except for the experimental model) RL-9.9FS The four-bar system, which is not yet available in Russia, is the main advantage of the brand. all motors with a capacity of up to 10 hp do not require registration in GIMS, but are equipped with a forced cooling system, which is rare in the budget segment.

Technical features of motors:

  • ⚙️ Engine.: all models are equipped with single-cylinder air-cooled engines (except for the RL-15 and RL-20 - they have two cylinders.
  • ⛽ Fuel.: recommended gasoline AI-92, but allowed AI-95 (with mandatory adjustment of the carburetor).
  • 🔧 Launch: manual starter on all models, electric starter is available only in RL-20E (exclusive for dealers).
  • 📏 Weight.: from 12 kg (RL-2.5up to 48 kg ()RL-20).

Critical moment: motors power over 10 hp (RL-15, RL-20) not certified by GIMS This means that they cannot be officially registered for use on public waterways, but many owners use gray schemes (such as homemade structures), which we do not recommend, because the risks of fines (up to 2,000 rubles) and problems in case of insurance are too high.

💡

General rule: the power of the motor must not exceed boat-size (indicated in the passport) for example, RL-330 Profifi. (load capacity 450 kg) the optimal motor - RL-9.9 or RL-15But if you plan to walk on shallow rivers with strong currents, it is better to take a motor with a margin of power (for example, a motor with a power reserve). RL-15 instead RL-9.9).

Boat length ≥ 3 m for motors over 5 hp |

Boat capacity exceeds engine weight + crew + cargo |

The boat's trawler is reinforced for engines over 10 hp |

The engine is certified by GIMS (if registration is required)

Pay special attention transmessby the boats tiller Land It's standard. 381 mm (15 inches)All brand engines are designed for this size, but if you plan to install a motor from another manufacturer (for example, the engine is designed for this size).
