Things to consider on outboard motor power and speed


When you decide to buy an outboard motor, there are so many outboard motor options available. Outboard motor is very important in a boat which impacts the performance of your boat.
Some people prefer to buy an outboard motor which was already used by someone. Buying a new outboard motor for your boat is always the best option. If you buy a used outboard motor, you can bargain with the outboard motor seller to reduce its price. But there is always a risk involved in buying a used outboard motor. When you buy a new branded outboard motor, you will get guarantee or warranty for your outboard motor.


Before you buy an outboard motor, the best thing you can do is to compare various outboard motor that are available. If you didn’t compare outboard motor before you purchase, then you will end up paying more for the motor that you purchased. In most of the cases the prices of same outboard motors vary from retailer and dealers. Another benefit of buying a new outboard engine is that it will give you confidence, while driving your boat.

You should also break your outboard engine properly, to ensure that you have a long life outboard engine. If you didn’t break your outboard engine in a proper way, then it will result in causing damages to outboard engines parts like bearings, crankshafts and piston rings. It is always a good practice to follow the guidelines of your outboard engine manufacturer. You should also follow the minimum fuel requirements of your outboard motor. If your outboard fuel doesn’t have required octane requirements, then it will result in shorten outboard engine life. Outboard engine oil with different grades will affect the efficiency of carbon buildup in piston and rings of the outboard engine. You should take care of these things to make sure that your outboard engine run smoothly.

You should not keep your mariner outboard engine ideal for longer period of time. For longer outboard engine life you should not race your outboard motor at its full speed. Cooling water should be circulated and your outboard speed should be changed for every 15 minutes. Most of the outboard engine manufacturing companies are trying to dominate the market by increasing reliability and efficiency of their product. Most of the boat owners use outboard motors of mercury marine. The size of their mariner outboard motor is between 2.5 to 350 HP.
