How do I choose the right size outboard motor?
The right outboard size depends on your boat’s weight, hull design and typical load. An engine that is too small will struggle and burn more fuel, while an oversized motor can be unsafe and expensive. Manufacturers list recommended horsepower ranges, but speaking with experts ensures you get a motor that balances power, fuel economy and safety.
How often should an outboard motor be serviced?
Most outboard motors should be serviced at least once a year or every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first. Regular servicing includes oil and filter changes, spark plug replacement, fuel system checks and impeller inspection. Keeping up with maintenance improves performance, extends engine life and helps avoid costly breakdowns on the water.
What is repowering and when should I consider it?
Repowering means replacing your old engine with a new outboard motor while keeping your existing boat. It’s a good option if your hull is in great condition but the motor is unreliable, inefficient or too small. A repower can provide better fuel efficiency, reliability and performance without the cost of a brand-new boat.
