Nissan 2015 Nissan 6 Hp NSF6CD2 Outboard Motor

The NSF6CD2 keeps the 6 HP, 20-inch shaft, pull-start layout of its sibling but trades the external fuel tank for one built into the motor housing, holding a few tenths of a gallon, so there's no separate tank or hose to route on the transom. What to check before buying That integral tank is the defining feature here: less fuel on board between fills than the external-tank version, but a cleaner setup with nothing hanging off the side of the boat, which suits short trips and tender duty better than long outings. Everything else tracks the rest of the 6 HP family: a single-cylinder, carbureted engine with OHV valves, thermostat-regulated cooling, a saltwater rating, and a 2.15-to-1 gearbox worked at a front-mounted lever driving a standard aluminum prop. Charging and the box A charging alternator can be added as a separate kit if your setup needs one, since it isn't built in on this pull-start version. A manual and basic tool kit ship with the motor, and Nissan's 5-year warranty covers it. Buyers choosing between the internal and external tank versions of this same 6 HP engine should weigh how far they typically run between fill-ups, since that's the real tradeoff between the two. Common questions What's the advantage of the built-in tank? No external tank or hose to route, at the cost of shorter running time between refills. Is this engine rated for salt water? Yes.
