Nissan 2015 Nissan 20 Hp NSF20C1 Outboard Motor

The NSF20C1 is Nissan's 2015 20 Hp outboard, a step up in output from the 15 Hp pair while staying on the same short, 15-inch shaft, two-cylinder four-stroke block, manual starting, and tiller steering. What the extra horsepower changes Making 20 horsepower from this size block calls for a single-venturi carburetor with an accelerator pump, rather than the plainer carburetor on the 15 Hp versions. Full throttle climbs a bit too, to 5,400-6,100 RPM, though the 2.15:1 lower-unit ratio and lever-operated, forward-neutral-reverse shifting stay the same across the range. Setup notes Because this is the short-shaft 20 Hp, ask about Nissan's 20-inch, long-shaft version of the same engine if your transom runs deeper. Fuel comes from an external 3.1-gallon tank, and a wet-sump system keeps things lubricated on SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil, with a saltwater-rated cooling circuit. What does the box include? A fuel tank and its quick-connect line, an aluminum propeller, plus an owner's manual and tool kit. What's the warranty? Nissan backs it with a 5-year warranty. Why does the short-shaft version exist for a 20 Hp engine? Some boats simply have lower transoms, and shaft length should match the hull rather than the horsepower rating. Is the carburetor on this model different from the 15 Hp versions? Yes, it adds an accelerator pump to support the higher output.
