Key Features

• Compact and Lightweight
  Weighing just around 20–21 kg, the M5BD is easy to carry, mount, and store. Ideal for dinghies, inflatables, and light skiffs, it’s perfect for solo use or when space is limited.
• Short or Long Shaft Options
  The 15” shaft is ideal for lower transoms, while the 20” long shaft provides better propeller immersion for deeper hulls and rougher conditions. The same trusted performance—tailored to your boat setup.
• Reliable 2-Stroke Performance
  Powered by a 102cc single-cylinder engine with loop-charged induction and CD ignition, this motor provides smooth starts and responsive throttle control with minimal fuss. Full throttle range: 4500–5500 rpm.
• Durability that Lasts
  Built with marine-grade aluminum and protected by a corrosion-resistant finish, the M5BD is as resilient as it is responsive. Through-prop exhaust and water-cooling enhance long-term durability.
• Fuel Flexibility
  Comes with a built-in 2.5L fuel tank and the option to connect to a remote 12L tank—offering flexibility for both short trips and full-day outings.
• Effortless Control
  The twist-grip throttle and forward-neutral-reverse gear shift ensure easy handling, whether you’re maneuvering tight spaces or heading full speed into open water.
• Peace of Mind Built-In
  With a safety lanyard, shallow water drive system, and a reputation for low maintenance, the M5BD is a smart choice for beginners and seasoned boaters alike.
