2015 Nissan 6 Hp NSF6C1 Outboard Motor

Nissan's NSF6C1 is a compact 6 HP portable on a short, 15-inch shaft, started by hand with a pull cord rather than a battery, built for small boats, dinghies, and anyone wanting a light spare motor. What to check before buying Getting the shaft height right against your transom matters more here than the horsepower rating; Nissan offers this same block in taller shaft lengths too, so measure before ordering. A single cylinder runs through a carburetor and OHV valve train, cooled by a thermostat-regulated water circuit, and the whole package carries a saltwater rating. The gearbox is set at 2.15 to 1, shifting forward-neutral-reverse at a front-mounted lever that turns a standard 3-blade aluminum propeller. Fuel, charging, and the box A quick-connect hose runs from the motor to its 3.1-gallon tank, mounted separately rather than built in; since this is the pull-start version, an alternator for onboard charging is sold as a separate add-on rather than built in. A printed manual and basic tool kit are tucked in alongside the motor, and Nissan's 5-year warranty applies. Buyers often pick this length for inflatables and small jon boats where keeping total weight down matters as much as having power on hand. Common questions Does it have electric start? No, starting is by pull cord on this model. Can I add charging capability later? Yes, an alternator kit is offered as an optional, separately installed accessory. Nissan's outboard line is built by Tohatsu, so the internals here match the Tohatsu version of this engine under a different badge.
