Outboard Motor Buying Guide!

Outboard motors are a crucial part of your boating experience. They provide the power needed for cruising around the bay, towing watersports enthusiasts, and other adventures. Keep reading for tips on shopping for boat motors. Then visit Bill Howich RV and Marine in Campbell River, BC to check out our outboard boat motors for sale.

What Horsepower Do You Want?

A great place to start is figuring out the horsepower you want. Horsepower will affect your boat's performance and potential, so you will want to pick wisely.

Here, you are aiming for a good middle ground. You want the outboard motor to be powerful enough to deliver the speed and distance traveled you want. But you don't want it to be too powerful. Otherwise, the boat motor could damage the frame and the transom.

To find the ideal horsepower, you can read your owner's manual or reference the National Marine Manufacturers Association Certification Plate (which is found in your boat's stern). These resources will let you know your boat's horsepower rating, which you can use when shopping for an outboard motor.

What Fuel Type Do You Want?

Next, you will want to pick a boat motor fuel type. Gasoline is a common choice due to how simple it is to use and how readily available it is. Electric outboard motors are powered by a battery, making them a more environmentally-friendly option. They are also quieter, which is helpful if you will be fishing. Propane-fueled models have fewer emissions than gasoline and can experience fewer mechanical issues.

How Many Outboard Motors Should You Buy?

Many people wonder if it's better to buy one or two outboard motors. The main reason to buy an extra boat motor is to have a backup in case one motor dies. You'll be able to rely on the second outboard motor to get home, rather than having to wait around for someone to come help you. Keep in mind that if the two motors provide the same horsepower, then there isn't much of a difference power wise between using one motor or two.
