A sail boat with an outboard motor is still a sailboat UNTIL the motor is turned on then it becomes a powerboat. A sailboat with it's sails up and the engine running is deemed to be a motor-sailer.
A motor craft. Unless it is moving under full sale power without motor assist it is not a sailboat at that point in time.

An outboard motor made specifically for sailing has 3 major differences. First, the lower section is built to a much stronger standard, and typically can be seen because it will be much wider as compared to a powerboat outboard. The reason for this is that a sailboat outboard is built to not "kick up" so it must be able to withstand minor strikes without damage. The second reason, it has no "kick up" - this is because a sailboat motor has to be able to power fully in both forward and reverse, and powering in reverse with a powerboat outboard will result in the motor lifiting the propeller up and out of the water becuase it is allowed to kick-up. Third, the sailboat outboard will allow the motor to go up in speed just as much in reverse as in forward, while in reverse on some powerboat outboards are limited, to prevent kick-up. So, the lack of kick-up is the key difference in features, with the other changes necessary because of that.
NO motor is necessary on a sailboat.

If you are using NGK plugs, the plug model is BP6HS and the gap is 0.035. I had to look it up also for my 6HP Suzuki outboard on my sailboat.
Yes. For example, you can have an outboard motor on a boat.
the motor is a 1967 outboard
The sailboat is the give-way vessel when it is overtaken by the motorboat, which is generally considered the stand-on vessel. Additionally, when both vessels are on a collision course and the motorboat is to the right (starboard) of the sailboat, the sailboat must give way. In situations where both boats are under sail, the sailboat must also give way to a motorboat if the motorboat is not under command.
Outboard means "outside", for example, an outboard motor as opposed to an inboard engine.
