Inboard engines are built to last. Outboard engines are definitely more popular with small-boat owners, but for the larger cruisers and sport fishers, inboard engines are second to none.

Scheduled maintenance on your boat’s engine is a fact of life. The ability to maintain your motor, do the scheduled maintenance yourself, and even fix and replace basic parts is a valuable skill for a boater.

Plus, your boat can end up spending as much time at the shop as it does on the water. Let Boating help with its extensive list of maintenance and how-to articles.
