Definition Of Outboard Motor

Outboard motor-An outboard motor is a detachable power device that is hung on the stern of a boat or boat and can propel the boat or boat to sail. It is mainly composed of engine and transmission, operation, suspension and propeller. It has the characteristics of compact structure, light weight, convenient disassembly, simple operation and low noise. It is suitable for use in inland rivers, lakes and offshore. 

In the military, it is often used on boats, boats, and gate bridges that perform reconnaissance, logging, river crossing, patrol, and remaining tasks. Civil racing boats, yachts, short-distance transport boats and fishing boats can also be used. Some manoeuvring boats are equipped with a variety of propellers for different boats and boats to use when empty or fully loaded. Most of the engines use two-stroke gasoline engines, and a few are diesel engines and electric motors, with a power range of 0.74 to 221 kilowatts and a weight of 10 to 256 kilograms.

Outboard motors first appeared in the late 19th century. Since the 1960s, some countries have adopted high-strength aluminum alloy, alloy steel, rubber, plastic and other materials to reduce the weight of the maneuvering boat. Measures such as contact ignition. In terms of driving methods, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries have also paid attention to the development of water jets to adapt to boats and navigate in shallow waters.

Outboard engines are classified into 6 horsepower, 8 horsepower, 15 horsepower, 30 horsepower, etc. according to their power. They are generally two or four-stroke gasoline engines. The starting method is mostly manual. The operator holds the direction handle to control the direction. Traditional diesel power is relatively heavy, low in price, and has serious noise and water pollution; two-stroke marine power is more economical, powerful, and simple in structure; four-stroke is more environmentally friendly and noise-friendly than two-stroke, with low fuel consumption and high performance More durable and reliable. In China, outboard motors are still an immature industry, so the prospects for development are great!
