Outboard Repowering Considerations

Outboard engines have evolved exponentially in the last decade and as a result the represent the vast majority of marine engines on the water today. Among their many benefits, boats rigged for outboards also afford the boat owner the opportunity to repower their boats when the time comes for an upgrade or performance improvement. This course outlines the steps necessary to repower a boat with a new outboard. Veteran ABYC instructor Rob Berenwick discusses boat engine capacities, engine selection, shaft length and mounting heights. Additional discussions include inspections of the transom, rigging, fuel systems and more. Finally we put it all together with installation considerations, running checks and on-water testing.

Topics Include:
  • Engine Selection
  • Capacity
  • Trim Adjustments
  • Fuel Systems
  • Rigging
  • Gauges and Configuration
  • Engine Designs
  • Mounting Brackets
  • Shaft Lengths
  •   ... and more
