Outboard

An outboard motor is a detachable engine that propels boats and is mounted on the transom (the rear part) of the boat. It combines the engine, gearbox, and propeller into a single unit and is popular for its ease of maintenance and versatility.

Key Components of an Outboard Motor:

  1. Engine - Provides the power and comes in various sizes, usually measured in horsepower (HP).
  2. Gearbox - Transmits power from the engine to the propeller and allows for forward, neutral, and reverse gears.
  3. Propeller - Moves the boat through the water and comes in different sizes and designs depending on the type of boat and desired performance.
  4. Steering System - Allows the driver to control the direction of the boat by turning the outboard motor.
  5. Fuel System - Includes the fuel tank, pump, and filter, delivering fuel to the engine.
  6. Cooling System - Keeps the engine from overheating, often using water taken from the lake or sea.
  7. Electrical System - Includes the battery, wiring, and ignition system.
  8. Trim and Tilt Mechanism - Adjusts the angle of the outboard motor to improve performance and maneuverability.
