When buying an outboard engine or repowering your boat, there are plenty of questions to consider. Should I buy two-stroke or four-stroke engines? Are two engines better than one?

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. An inboard engine’s better fuel efficiency, coupled with a mate’s ability to handle large fish around the transom, make inboards the only option for big-game tournament fishing. The inboard engine’s weight, centered and low, produces easier motion when drifting or cruising.

The Perfect Tune for Your Favorite Tunes
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. Sure, you can take your boat into the shop for an oil change, or to replace a fuel filter, but it can get expensive quickly. 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.
