Outboard motor maintenance and damage
What is an outboard motor?
The outboard motor is a motor located on the outside of the ship’s stern, on the outside of the rearview mirror. It consists of a propeller and a conventional motor which may:
- Two-stroke
- Four strokes
They will differ depending on whether it takes four or two piston strokes to complete a thermodynamic cycle. Two-stroke engines are often recommended on smaller and simpler ships because of their lighter weight than four-stroke engines, faster acceleration, more accessible transportation, and lower prices.
However, 4-stroke engines have several advantages over two-stroke. See less pollution, more moderate consumption, less noise and vibration interference, longer life and broader power range.
Generally, we will look at outboard motors on boats between 2 and 10 m in length, such as boats, semi-rigid inflatables, auxiliary boats, sailboats, etc.
In this comment, the choice of the outboard motor over the inboard motor is usually due to the ease of installation, more straightforward maintenance, and more affordable price. Another advantage of the outboard motor is its maneuverability and handling; thanks to this, we can rotate the engine to your liking and use it as a steering wheel. It even allows you to mount and unload the motor each time you use the boat, making it easy to transport.

How to choose an outboard motor?
To make a good choice, several factors must be taken into account, for example:
- What kind of boat do we have? Our decision will be affected depending on whether your boat is a tender inflatable, semi-rigid, speedboat, small cruiser, fishing boat or sailboat.
- What’s the point of giving it to the boat? It will also change our decision if the ship is used, for example, for purposes such as fishing or illustration for sporting purposes such as boating.
- How much does it weigh, and how much does it occupy? It will mainly determine what engine we need for the ship.
In short, we can complete the decision based on the following:
Outboard motor for small boats
We will understand small boats such as auxiliary inflatables, semi-rigid boats, and small sailboats, and we will accept 2-stroke engines as valid options. Still, we recommend four-stroke engines from 3.5 CV. However, a power range between 10 and 50 CV should be sought for optimal speed and performance.
Sailboat outboard motor
For these ships, we will look for an engine that offers a longer shaft and greater propeller thrust so that it can adapt to the stern of a sailboat, regarding power with a machine that provides a minimum capacity of 6 CV. It can fulfill its function of assisting when the wind does not support navigation.
Outboard motor for canoes, semi-rigid or canoes
In boats of this type that are already starting to get quite large in weight and size, it is best to consider a 4-stroke outboard motor with a medium-high power range.
