Buying Used Outboards

Executive Summary about Outboard Motors for Sale by Gheoff Morris

 

Used Outboards - Are you looking at buying a used outboard motor? If you are looking at buying a used outboard you should consider all of the options available to you. What will I mainly be using the outboard for?

Each outboard motor manufacturer produces a very different outboard from the last. Some of these outboards suit different applications. For example, if you are looking at doing a lot or trolling, then you could possibly consider a four stroke outboard. The issue with most two stroke outboards is if you do a lot of trolling and idling, they can be very smokey and have the issue of fouling spark plugs.

If you are doing large hours with your outboard motor, then you will want an efficient outboard motor. A four stroke outboard or a direct injected two stroke, like a Mercury Optimax, Evinrude Etec, or Yamaha HPDI.

When buying used outboards the cost is a huge factor. You need to make sure that used outboard is in excellent condition, especially if you are on a tight budget. Outboard Powerhead gaskets on used outboards can cost around $1000 - $1500. As a rule of thumb, fuel injected two stroke outboards and four stroke outboards are a few hundred dollars more to service than carburettor two stroke outboards. Quite possibly it is a genuine reason, the owner might do large hours and wants the extra fuel efficiency, and the owner might want a quieter outboard as the old two strokes might be quite noisy. A used outboard inspection should be carried out by an experienced technician or outboard mechanic. They should go over the outboard motor from top to bottom. Carrying out a compression test, ignition system test, look in the motor with a bore scope to inspect cylinder bore condition, check gear oil, engine mounts, running quality and charging system etc...

Engine height and propeller selection is very important with used outboards and outboard motors in general.
