How to Choose an Outboard Motor?
Instead of buying a new boat, the best alternative may be simply purchasing a new motor. For those that have fishing boats and other working craft, he or she probably has an outboard motor, which are popular on these particular vessels. Outboard motors can be found in a number of places although it is best to purchase one from an authorized dealer or someone that is trustworthy. The reason for this is that simply outboard motors require special knowledge of engine parts to repair and refurbish. If the proper care and time is not taken for the repair, the motor could fail at the most inopportune time.Four Stroke EnginesThe most popular outboard engines of the present are the quiet and reliable four-stroke engines. These engines have recently made their debut over the last ten years because of their ease of use. Four-stroke engines do not use oil as two-stroke engines do, and they also use less gas than two-stroke engines. Also, the four-stroke engine is much quieter than the noisy two-stroke engine, which makes it far less intrusive for those long trips to the Gulf Stream. The only down-side to four-stroke engines are that they are more expensive than two-stroke engines. Four-stroke engines are also considered safer to purchase from classified advertisements or other places. Four-stroke engines do not require specialized repair personnel for general maintenance and small repairs. A 150 horsepower engine can be found for prices starting at $5000.Two Stroke EnginesTwo-stroke engines are the most traditionally used outboard motor on the market. They incorporate the use of oil in their gas tanks and are said to be able to attain more overall torque than four-stroke engines. Two stroke engines are great engines and can be found re-built for relatively cheap. For instance, $500 will get one a two-stroke outboard motor up to fifty horsepower. The best place to look for two-stroke outdoor motors are at authorized used boat dealers or licensed small engine repair shops. Two-stroke engines are different from other engines and takes one with specialized knowledge to make even the most general repairs.

Are 2 stroke outboard motor engines for boats going to be outlawed?
In California, all 2 stroke outboard motors that do not meet ISO 9000 emission standards of at least 3 stars are outlawed. So far, only the new line of outboards from Evinrude, called the E-TEC series, meet the standard. It is likely that this type of law will expand to other states, and also that other manufacturers will develop new models that will be in compliance with the standard. Evinrude has accomplished this feat with a computer controlled, direct fuel injected engine that does not mix the lubricating oil with the gas. The motor is very clean burning due to precise fuel injection, and doesn't smoke because the lubricating oil does not enter the combustion chambers. Wrong - See State of California Website
