Outboard boat engines for sale - How to choose the ship engine

Most yacht owners are interested in their elegant, beautiful and tall appearance when they buy yachts. Although the engine and internal equipment are quite important, they have not made much effort to study them. Just listen to the salespeople simply introduce how good their outboard boat engines for sale! So how good are they? Okay, is it necessarily for you? In order to make rational choices and understand consumption. We specially consult professionals to help our shipowners choose the right yacht from several basic points. Today we start from the heart - engine chapter!

First of all, the choice of engine depends on the length of the yacht you want to buy! Generally in the yacht market, yachts are divided into the following types: small yachts/speedboats (30 feet and below, generally 15 feet-30 feet), medium yachts (30-50 feet), large yachts (50-80 feet) and Super Yachts (80 feet and above).

For small yachts, we pay attention to the energy efficiency ratio - that is, the maximum efficiency of fuel per unit capacity! In all engines, 4hp outboard hanging is perfect. Suspended in the hull, the driving efficiency is the highest, and the maintenance cost is relatively low.

The 30-foot yacht is likely to use inboard and outboard engines. Its advantages lie in its built-in engine, low noise and space saving. Its disadvantages are that the transmission system is complex, the efficiency is lower than outboard engines, and it is higher than the straight axle (engine-gearbox-propeller shaft-propeller in one line, which is called the straight axle). Maintenance cost of inboard and outboard engines is high, besides the price of spare parts, there is also the time cost of technicians involved in maintenance. There is a lot of room for outboard hanging, and when the engine is built-in, there may be a problem with a small screw, so we have to give the yacht a major operation, so that we can approach the small screw. And then it's loaded back, which takes a lot of time, and the labor costs naturally rise.
