navi09 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi, iv'e been looking at buying my first boat. It's a used polycraft tuff tender with a 15 hp 2 stroke zongshen motor electric start. I wonder if any members have any advice or opinion about this brand of motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Don't know anyone who has one, but they are made cheap in China, like lots of stuff these days, can't comment on reliability or longevity, because there just isn't many around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 One of my mates has had a 15ho for a couple of years and had no problems ive fished with him it starts easy runs nice just wash them thoroughly they can suffer from corrosion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I believe many of the components are supplied by Tohatsu as is the case with Yamaha, mercury and Johnson. there are several brand names here now from China and I think they would all be pretty reliable, just the old fashioned boaters like myself would think twice before buying one.
