Outboard motors Gasoline

In this category you will find petrol outboard motors, also known as gasoline outboard motors, 4-stroke outboards, outboard engines for inflatable boats, outboard motors for dinghies, outboard motors for Zodiac-style boats or marine outboard engines. They are designed for inflatable boats, tenders, small boats, fishing boats, dinghies and leisure craft.

If you are looking for a petrol outboard motor, a cheap outboard motor, an outboard for an inflatable boat, a small outboard motor or an alternative to well-known brands such as Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu, Mariner or Selva, The Nautic Store offers options for different uses, power ranges and boat types.

Outboard motors are one of the most practical ways to power a small boat. They are mounted on the transom, can be removed relatively easily and allow you to choose the right power according to boat length, weight, load and intended use.

Buy petrol outboard motors

Buying a petrol outboard motor means choosing an engine that matches your boat. A small outboard for a 2 metre tender is not the same as an engine for a 3.6 m inflatable boat, a fishing dinghy or a heavier craft.

Before choosing, check the maximum power recommended by the boat manufacturer, the type of transom, the shaft length required, the engine weight and the real use: fishing, leisure, tender use, anchoring, short trips or frequent navigation.

4-stroke outboard motors

4-stroke outboard motors are one of the most common choices for users buying a petrol engine for an inflatable boat or small craft. They are widely used for leisure boating, tenders and fishing.

Many buyers search for phrases such as 4-stroke outboard motor, 5 hp petrol outboard, 6 hp outboard motor, 15 hp outboard motor or 20 hp outboard motor. The correct power always depends on the boat, load and type of navigation.

Outboard motors for inflatable boats, dinghies and Zodiac-style boats

One of the most common uses is fitting an outboard motor to an inflatable boat. Many buyers search for outboard motor for inflatable boat, outboard motor for dinghy, outboard motor for Zodiac, motor for inflatable tender or outboard motor for fishing dinghy.

On an inflatable boat, it is important not to exceed the maximum power allowed. An engine that is too heavy or powerful can affect safety, balance and boat handling. Choose a motor compatible with the boat length, maximum weight and transom.

Small outboard motors: 2.5 hp, 4 hp, 5 hp and 6 hp

Small outboard motors are popular for tenders, small inflatable boats, sailing boats, fishing dinghies and short trips. Power options such as 2.5 hp, 4 hp, 5 hp or 6 hp are suitable for users looking for low weight, easy transport and simple operation.

A small petrol outboard can be enough for a tender, a lightweight inflatable boat or calm use in protected waters. For larger boats, more load or several adults on board, a more powerful engine may be required.

9.9 hp, 15 hp and 20 hp outboard motors

Engines such as 9.9 hp, 15 hp and 20 hp outboards are interesting for users looking for more thrust, better response with load and greater ability to move medium or large inflatable boats. They are common searches for fishing, leisure and rigid floor inflatable boats.

Before buying an engine in this range, always check whether your boat allows it. Also consider weight, manual or electric start, internal or external fuel tank, short shaft or long shaft.

Short shaft or long shaft outboard

One of the most common questions is choosing between a short shaft outboard motor and a long shaft outboard motor. The correct shaft length depends on the transom height. If the shaft length is wrong, the engine may perform poorly, ventilate or create too much spray.

Many small inflatable boats use short shaft engines, but you should always check the transom measurement and the boat manufacturer’s recommendation.

Compare Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu and other outboard brands

Many buyers compare outboard motors from well-known brands such as Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu, Mariner, Selva, Parsun or Hidea. It is normal to research premium brands before buying a boat engine.

In this category you can compare options by power, price, weight, starting system, shaft length and intended use. If you are looking for an affordable alternative to a Yamaha outboard, Mercury outboard, Suzuki outboard, Honda Marine or Tohatsu outboard, check the available models and choose the one that best suits your boat.

Frequently asked questions about petrol outboard motors

What outboard motor do I need for my inflatable boat?
