Why does a motor boat gradually slow to a stop?

Check the following:• You have run out of fuel. • Your engine has stopped and the water friction is slowing you down.• Your boat has become entangled with a submerged object.• You are dragging bottom.• The water has frozen.• A large fish is pulling you the opposite direction.• The anchor has fallen overboard.• You have a very strong headwind.• The person who is trying to ski behind your boat is excessively large.• You have driven the boat into a mud bog.• The propeller has fallen off, become damaged or is fouled.• You are going into a current that is so strong your motor cannot overcome it.• The boat is slowly sinking and has just hit bottom.• The boat is attached to a trailer and the car pulling the trailer is stopping.

Why does a boat need 2 different outboard motors?

Depends on if they are the same size motor. A boat with two motors of the same size are normally set up that way for handling (primarily aid in steering at slower speeds), but it also provides a level of safety for offshore users should one engine stop running they can return on the other. You will also find a lot of fishing boats set up with two motors. One larger horsepower to get the boat from point "A" to point "B" quickly and a second motor of a low horsepower for trolling (moving the boat at a slow speed while fishing).
