Quick answer
A small outboard motor is a compact petrol or electric engine, roughly 2.5 to 30 HP, that clamps or bolts to the stern of a small boat to drive it through the water.
Start here
- Lifting it onto a tender yourself? Keep it under about 27 kg (6 HP and below).
- Flush with fresh water after every salt-water trip.
- Catamaran? Mount on a bracket at the centre of the rear beam.
