Product Description

Powered by a 165 cc single-cylinder 4-stroke SOHC engine, the Black Bass 8HP achieves a perfect balance between low-speed control and reliable cruising power. Its overhead-camshaft design ensures precise valve timing, reduced friction, and cleaner combustion. Operating through the 5 500–6 000 rpm range, it provides quick throttle response and efficient propulsion while keeping fuel consumption exceptionally low. The engine’s refined carburetion system maintains stable output across varying loads, delivering confident acceleration for light craft and tenders even in choppy or tidal waters.

Built from marine-grade aluminium alloy, the Black Bass 8HP combines rigidity with low weight, making it easy to carry and mount. Its Long Shaft (L) configuration provides deeper propeller immersion for improved tracking, steering, and thrust on larger dinghies or deeper-draft hulls. The sealed, pump-forced water-cooling system keeps internal temperatures stable, while Selva’s multi-layer anti-corrosion coating protects against saltwater exposure. The reinforced gearbox housing and precision-cut gears enhance mechanical longevity, ensuring smooth power transmission even under frequent use. Compact dimensions make the engine ideal for storage aboard smaller boats or transport between trips.

Starting is effortless thanks to Selva’s recoil-assist mechanism, while balanced crankshaft geometry and rubber mounting minimise vibration and noise. The twist-grip tiller provides responsive throttle control for close-quarters manoeuvring, and five manual trim positions allow users to adjust the running angle for optimum efficiency or shallow-water operation. Routine servicing oil checks, spark-plug replacement, or impeller inspection, is straightforward, keeping downtime minimal. The Black Bass 8HP offers clean, quiet power that’s easy to manage, whether you’re heading out to fish, explore, or simply enjoy a calm cruise.
