Choosing The Right Outboard Motor

If you’ve already plunked down your hard-earned cash on a boat, but you find that you want more power, investing in an outboard motor is a great option. These portable engines are reasonably affordable, powerful and easy to remove as necessary for maintenance or storage. 

However, when you start to check out the options on the market, it can be easy to become overwhelmed. That’s where Jet Ski of Miami comes in! Our brief guide to choosing the right outboard motor should help you outfit your boat with all the power you need, whether you’re trolling for fish or cruising with friends.

What Type Of Boat Do You Have?

The style of craft you’re trying to power has a lot to do with the type of engine you’ll want to use on it. Tiny flat-bottom fishing boats will not need much power and, in fact, would be overwhelmed with a very large and heavy outboard. You’ll only need a small portable option of about 15 horsepower for these. This type of motor is also great to add a little more power to a sailboat for when the winds are too calm.

If you have a much larger craft, whether it’s a pontoon or a deep-V hulled center console, you’ll need a motor with much more power. An outboard engine of 100 horsepower may be necessary to push these boats through the water effectively. These larger styles may be connected to controls at the helm.

Do You Need Two Engines?

Sometimes, you might even need to add two outboards to your boat. However, it might be more economical overall to simply get one larger model that has the power you need. For example, you could attach two 150 horsepower motors to your stern, but why do this when one 300 horsepower motor will add less bulk and likely be more efficient?

If you already have a small motor and want to boost its effectiveness, then adding a second engine can help. Use two outboard motors when you can’t get sufficient speed from just one, or if you’re investing in a back-up to turn on in an emergency. Know that each motor will need its own fuel or power source!
