How many types of marine engines are there?

There are many different types of marine engines. However, they can be classified into three main categories. The first is the outboard engine, which sits outside on the hull of a marine vessel. The second is the inboard engine, which is enclosed inside the hull of the marine vessel. The third is the inboard/outboard motor, or the stern-drive engine, which is mounted inside the boat and has an additional unit that is attached to the transom.


94 geo metro does the drive belt effect starting the car?

Yes. Drive belts are what keep the engine parts working together in order. If the drive belt goes, the engine will crank with the key turned, but the engine will not "turn over."


How does a sterndrive work?

A sterndrive is a propulsion system found on boats where an inboard engine is connected to a steerable drive unit mounted on the back of the boat. The engine's power is transferred to the propeller through a system of gears to propel the boat. The steerable drive unit provides directional control by pivoting left or right to steer the boat.


What type of engine is common on boats designed for shallow water?

Do all newly made boats have an outboard motor?

The short answer is no. Boats are made with outboard, inboard-outboard, a hybrid using an inboard engine driving a stern mounted shaft that looks like the lower end of an outboard. Others use inboard engines, typically larger cruiser and specialty ski boats. Personal watercraft use a inboard engine powering a water jet pump. This jet drive system is also used in some boats. Most smaller boats are powered by outboards. New large outboards up to 400HP permit larger boats some over 30 ft long to be outboard powered. Most mid-size boats from 18-30 feet are powered by inboard-outboard systems to take advantage of larger automotive engines.


When changing your oil you smelled fuel in your oil. What could cause this?

Engine running rich. Get this fixed ASAP and do not drive until you do. Serious damage will occur to the engine. If you have electronic fuel ignition and you pump your gas pedal before starting, this can add un-burned fuel to your engine oil.
