Who is Parsun?
Parsun is a brand new range of outboard on the world market. Manufactured in China, located in the city of Suzhou, nearby Shanghai, the largest city and sea port in China. Although Parsun is a new brand name it's parent company " Genovo Power " (The world's 3rd largest generator company) contributes it's 30+ years of experience when it comes to development, design and manufacturing. With this experience / skills behind Parsun their goal is to produce high quality outboard's that compare or exceeds the standards of the other major brands already available today, but up to 40% the cost of those brands. Bringing boating back to the people once again. Parsun's impact was instantly felt on the Australian
and World market when the first 15hp was released. All major brand's dropped their prices dramatically to try to compete with Parsun's fair pricing system. Which in turn raises the question... Why were the engines so expensive before???
Reliability.
We know that when you're out enjoying yourself fishing, exploring or hard at work (commercial use), you need an outboard engine that will get you back to shore safely every time. With Parsun's stringent testing system you have nothing to worry about. Apart from the thousands of hours it takes to design an outboard, the final test that each model goes through is 500hrs of non-stop running at full throttle. This is the toughest test any new product could go through. It's nice to know that every model of Parsun outboard has passed this test otherwise it wouldn't have been released onto the market.
That's pretty impressive testing but it doesn't end there. Each
individual outboard, once completed is manually tuned in a test tank and run at low varying revs for 1 hour before getting the final tick of approval. Most other outboard
manufactures don't run each motor for an hour before sending it out. They may grab 1 motor out of every few hundred to test. With Parsun you know your outboard has passed the " Parsun Test "
Quality.
Only high marine grade quality parts & labor are used to manufacture Parsun outboards. The
aluminum used comes mainly from recycled aluminum cans due to its food grade quality. This is a very pure
aluminum and perfect for salt water applications. The painting process is quite different to other brands. Each Parsun outboard is hand painted not machine painted, giving a full even coat of paint around the whole motor. There is a total of 5 layers of paint including 2 layers of primer and 3 layers of the final
color. Giving the outboard a great glossy finish and that extra protection from corrosion.

Additional Information:

of slow run for the first hour. Make sure to review outboard manual
for more information.
Make sure that correct 4-stroke outboard oil is added
to be seen through control window before running outboard motor first
time.
Brand new outboard motor may be difficult to start
very first time. Add some gas and oil, make sure gas line is open,
unscrew vent on a gas tank to let air in, put in neutral, and throttle
handle on middle mark. Let gas to sit for around 3-5 minutes, then
slowly pull starter 3 times, then start pulling quickly. It make take
10-20 pulls to start engine because gas need to get all way in. Don't
give up, keep pulling and it will start. But, make sure all
prerequisites are set to the proper positions.
