2015 Nissan 8 Hp NSF8A3EF2 Outboard Motor

Electric push-button starting arrives in Nissan's 8 HP line with the NSF8A3EF2, paired with a 20-inch shaft and tiller steering, and the added starter and alternator make it the heavier option within this horsepower class. What sets this one apart Where the pull-start 8 HP models leave charging as an optional add-on, this version ships with an 80-watt alternator built in as standard gear, so no separate kit is needed to keep a battery charged while it runs. The engine itself is the same twin-cylinder, SOHC design with carburetor fuel delivery, thermostat-controlled water cooling, and a saltwater rating, geared at 2.08 to 1 and spinning an aluminum propeller with three blades sized for this class of motor. Fuel and extras Fuel sits in a 3.1-gallon tank outside the motor, joined by its own hose. A printed manual and tool kit are included, and this engine is backed by Nissan's 5-year warranty. Buyers who already own the pull-start 8 HP motor and want to switch to push-button starting are the main audience for this particular version. Common questions Why does this weigh more than the other 8 HP models? The electric starter and its alternator add bulk compared with the pull-start versions. Is a separate battery still required? Yes, electric start needs one on board; the engine's own alternator keeps it charged once running.
