I recall Mercury once surveyed and determined that the typical Outboard Motor in recreational use gets 20 hours running time per year. Heavy use is considerred 40 hours running on up in recreational craft - not in charter use.
Obviously commercial use, like running lobstering, crab catching and so forth there is easily 20 hours per week running. This is why there are commercial use models. For example, Evinrude used to put their V4 powerheads on the V6 rated lower units. There are other examples.
This is why I am wary of used--- one or two year old motors in areas where there is commercial fishing. They have already had more time on them than a recreational user would accrue in 20 years.

Can you install a wake tower on to a fish and ski boat with an outboard motor?
Yes you can. You have to know 2 things about your boat: 1. Can you pull someone out of the water with your motor? ( for a 16 ft fiberglass boat you need at the very least 80hp, but a 120 does better) 2. Do you have a place to mount the tower and not have it rip out? There is a lot of pressure on that thing
How many hours a 850amps battery can run a 2000 watts motor?
It depends on the battery's voltage. Such a battery's capacity is given in ampere-hours, not amperes. An 850 amp-hour 12 volt battery can theoretically operate a 12 volt motor for about 12 minutes but in practice it's probably, maybe a lot less, since the motor will probably stop as the battery nears its depletion.
Why does a motor boat slow to a stop when the motor dies?

What is the Best 4 stroke 75 hp outboard boat motor?
The one that presents the lowest 10-year expected total cost (purchase, fuel, oil, maintenance, repairs, depreciation). Boat load and prop selection have a helluva lot more impact on 75hp performance than does the cowling badging.
How fast does a 50 hp outboard motor go?
Speed is dependant on a number of factors. Most importantly the size, type and weight of the boat that it is on and the number of people on board. A 50 HP outboard will push a small aluminum fishing boat a lot fast than it will a 20 ft fiberglass boat. I have a 50 HP 2 stroke that will push a 16 foot aluminum boat 35 MPH.
