Compact Power. Real Torque. No Badge Tax.
The Hidea 5HP 4-Stroke delivers exactly what inflatable boat owners need: reliable torque, low vibration, easy starting and a manageable carry weight — without paying thousands extra for a brand sticker.
At just 25kg (Short Shaft) and 26kg (Long Shaft), this engine is perfectly balanced for tenders, RIBs and compact inflatables. Light enough to lift solo. Powerful enough to plane lightweight hulls confidently.
- Integrated 1.2L fuel tank for true portability
- External tank connection for extended range
- TCI ignition for fast, smooth starting
- Reduced vibration & quieter running
- Designed specifically for small boat handling
This is the sweet spot horsepower for 2.7m–3.8m inflatables.
