How To Find Used Outboard Motors - 8 Tips

Investing in a new outboard motor can sometimes lead to emptying of pockets and therefore used outboard motors are a better option if money is a constraint (which it almost always is!)

Here we have compiled a list of steps which will prove helpful when you go out to buy used outboard motors for yourself or maybe for your children.

Step 1:

Check the local newspaper where you might find some regular boaters selling their boats. These people have the habit of replacing their boats in regular intervals and buying new ones for themselves. You can even buy a used outboard motor from online portals, in print magazines or you may find one in your locality itself. Talk to a couple of people around you and they are bound to know someone who is selling used outboard motors. Or Google is always ready to help.

Step 2:

If you prefer smooth rides it's better to chose four stroke used outboard motors. Four stroke motors almost always meet the EPA requirements but it might be costly at times, so be prepared for such deals.

Step 3:

If the word smooth is not made for you then you will feel better with the less expensive two stroke motor. These used outboard motors deliver quick acceleration and are well suited to those who love rough rides over the water.

Step 4:

In U.S.A, the Coast Guard has listed some rules and regulations for the number of passengers on a commercial boat as well as the size of the outboard motor. Do not ignore these measures. These are for your safety. Look for these guidelines when buying used outboard motors and if it fails to meet these guidelines then it is better to chose some other seller.

Step 5:

Make a list of the accessories and features that you want in your used outboard motors. You might prefer electric start over pull start and similar other features. Think carefully before opting for the final used outboard motor.

Step 6:

What shaft length are you looking for? Do check that in used outboard motors before you purchase it. Short, long and extra long shafts have sizes of 15 inches, 20 inches, 25 inches respectively.

Step 7:

Talk to various local outboard motor boat owners about the brands available and their advantages. If you are already happy with some brand then go with it else give a try to another brand this time. Read online reviews of various brands and check for consumers reports for respective brands. You will slowly develop a nice picture of each brand and that will help you to invest in the best brand. You can chose from Honda, Sears Gamefisher, Yamaha, Johnson, Evinrude or other famous used outboard motors.

Step 8:

Do check with the seller on how to install the motor and check if every part is available. Try to install it yourself while he is around. It will help you get used to the motor parts and the way it needs to be installed.
