Wehave integrated successfully with quite a few outboards, to include the new Suzuki 300HPs. They have the steering actuation built-in, which is super nice! No more hydraulics and feedback sensing! We control over PWM out of Ardupilot translated to multiple NMEA 2000 messages for all the controls.

But, another trick is to use one of the marine autopilots (Garmin GHP20) and just send the next WP heading info over from the AP, much like a chart plotter does. Those systems tune really nicely on the larger boats, and if you figure out the NMEA stuff you get a lot of additional features (trolling modes, clever fishing maneuvers, etc).


We have thought about integrating a ThunderCat Inflatable with a 40HP Tohatsu (with de-watering) and a Max Jac linear actuator with some additional sealing for steering. They handle exceptionally well in high surf conditions, and we were going to include a water bladder for adjustable ballast. Curious what your application might be.


He gave me a few tips about how to operate the motor and said I shouldn't run it while it's not in the water -- since it's water-cooled and would overheat. I've never operated a motor boat, so I'd like to try to start up the motor at home a few times before using the boat in the water. (I'd like to get the hang of it first since it seems like starting an outboard can be a bit fiddly.)


A. Start it for a second. Let a cool for a few minutes before starting again.

B. Or, when testing, would it help to place the bottom part of the motor in a large container of water to cool it? Or is that unnecessary?


A Flush Muff is an inexpensive and essential piece of gear for your outboard. It looks a bit like a set of ear muffs. It is two rubber cups with a steel arm connecting them. One cup has a hose attachment. You slide the rubber cuffs over the water intake on the lower part of the engine. You turn on the hose and water will squirt out the sides. You start the engine and water should squirt from the "tell" at the back of the engine. By the way, this is the point of the tell, to let you know water is circulating properly. You can run your motor as much as you need this way. You should flush your motor every time you finish using it, if you want to make it last as long as possible. I definitely flush mine every time it is in salt water, or I go somewhere sandy.


If you want to do a relatively simple DIY task, replacing the impeller is not usually a hard job and is a normal piece to wear out. I would probably replace it on a motor I don't know the maintenance history of.


I'm new to boating and I've never operated a motor boat. That's the first thing you need to care about. Boating is fun and generally a very safe recreation activity, but only if you know the rules and your limits.


Boating needs practise! It's a bit like learning to drive, but with a few extra quirks, the main one being that there are no brakes on a boat that let you just stop when you don't know how to continue. And that you are significantly affected by weather. Caveat: It is only sensible to take your first practise drives with an experienced boater.


So, please, before you even attempt to start the engine, make yourself familiar with the required regulations and the handling of your boat. You don't want to crash or sink it on your first trip out! Consider taking boating lessons. It's for your own safety and the safety of your passengers.


The best way to test an outboard engine is in a large barrel (like in the left picture here). You need safely attach a holding plate to the barrel, so you can mount the outboard to it or have some other method to keep it safely in place. Make sure that you don't drop the whole engine in the water, that could damage it. Be very careful if you shift into gear, as this might create a push strong enough to tip everything over.


You have 60 days from the date of purchase to title your newly purchased boat, vessel, or outboard motor. If you do not title the boat, vessel, or outboard motor there is a title penalty of $10 on the 61st day after purchase. The penalty increases another $10 for every 30 days you are late with a maximum penalty of $30.

You have 60 days from bringing the boat, vessel, or outboard motor into Missouri to title the boat, vessel, or outboard motor if it is to be kept in Missouri over 60 consecutive days. If you do not title the boat, vessel, or outboard motor, there is a title penalty of $10 on the 61st day. The penalty increases another $10 for every 30 days you are late with a maximum penalty of $30.

A boat, vessel, or documented vessel registration must be renewed every three years. The registration expires on June 30th in the year specified on the decal. There is no late renewal penalty. Outboard motor decals are not required to be renewed.


To renew a boat, vessel, or documented vessel registration, the owner must submit the following at any Missouri license office, by mail, or by phone at 573-751-1957 Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your local license office may also provide phone-in renewal services. Visit -office-locator/ for more information.


If your decal or pocket card has been lost, stolen, or mutilated, you may obtain a replacement by submitting the following at any Missouri license office, by mail, or by phone at 573-751-1957 Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your local license office may also provide phone-in renewal services. Visit -office-locator/ for more information.


If you are a nonresident, you have 60 days from acquiring or bringing the documented vessel into Missouri to apply for a Documented Vessel Certificate of Registration, if the vessel is to be kept in Missouri over 60 consecutive days. If you do not apply, there is a penalty of $10 on the 61st day, increasing another $10 for every 30 days you are late up to a maximum penalty of $30.


Documented vessel owners may purchase a temporary permit to allow them to operate the documented vessel for 60 days while the applicant awaits the documentation from the United States Coast Guard. These special permits must be obtained directly from the Motor Vehicle Bureau's Central Office in Jefferson City for a fee of $5 plus a $6 processing fee. Documented vessel temporary permits are nonrenewable or transferable and are no longer valid upon issuance of a Documented Vessel Certificate of Registration (Form 4086).


Our Store and Warehouse will be operating on adjusted hours due to the inclement weather. Shipping will be delayed due to scheduling changes from our shipping partners.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you.


Online Outboards is proud to offer outboard motors from brands like Tohatsu, Suzuki, Mercury, and Honda. Choose from standard, 4-stroke carbureted outboard motors or electronic fuel injected (EFI) outboard motors. Additionally, Online Outboards allows you to search all boat motors by shaft length, trim and tilt preferences, fuel tank types, and more!


When it comes to selecting the right outboard motor for your boat, there are many factors to consider: engine life, warranty coverage, fuel efficiency, environmental impact, and overall reliability. Your preference for a new vs. used boat motor will largely depend on your boating needs and your risk tolerance.




The Spark-Ignition Marine Engine and Watercraft regulations cover any spark-ignited engine that is used to propel a marine watercraft, including personal watercraft (e.g. Jet Skis, WaveRunners, Sea-Doos), outboard engines, and sterndrive/inboard (e.g. propeller driven vessels, jet boats, air boats, hovercraft) engines.



This page provides a list of the Manufacturers Advisory Correspondence (MACs), mailouts, correspondence, regulation, test procedures, and guidelines applicable to Spark-Ignition Marine Engines, and is primarily for the interest and needs of manufacturers and others that are required to obtain certification from CARB. For more public-oriented materials, visit Spark-Ignition Marine Watercraft.

An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft. As well as providing propulsion, outboards provide steering control, as they are designed to pivot over their mountings and thus control the direction of thrust. The skeg also acts as a rudder when the engine is not running. Unlike inboard motors, outboard motors can be easily removed for storage or repairs.
