Choosing the right engine

Choosing the engine (or propulsion system) for
The boat is very important. Both heavy and
horsepower will have a great impact on the performance of
of your boat. If you have a boat that is underpowered,
machine will work twice as hard, giving you bad
Yield.

Now, let's see the engine available
for ships and boats:

outboard motor
Outboard is very popular and very useful in
small boats. These motors are very light, strong,
and very quiet. Usually mounted on the transom
boats, no boat available to offer
either motor or even a bracket to mount the engine.

Engine all revolve around providing easy
direction as the rotating propeller stern drive
approx. Outboard motors come in different sizes
and power can use different types of fuel.

stern drive
This engine is also known as an engine I / O, and
generally heavier than outboard. consist
Ship engine and lower unit mounted
attached to the transom, this engine delivers power
and Versitility. You can also tilt the motor up
and down to help provide temporary interruption of your cruise.

inboards
On the boat over 26 feet in length, this
engines are very popular. As in the stern drive
motor, the motor is mounted inside the boat boat
toward the center, which gives a good proportion of body weight.

Inboards are connected directly to the transmission, then
in through the hull. Then, the shaft
attached to a propeller change and
pushing the boat. Axis is fixed and
rotate around. Therefore, the wheel is mounted
behind the shaft and propeller to help divert
water flow that gives you a sense of direction.

jet
Unit jet propulsion system has a great advantage -
no propeller to cause damage or injury to persons
water, including marine life. typically,
are inboard engines that take water
I flow through the pump, driven by a drive.

Then the water is discharged under high pressure
through a nozzle that can drive the boat. of
providing the direction of the boat, the nozzle
rotary. For personal watercraft, jet
way to go.

Note that when no power is applied,
Jet-powered boat lost steering, as the river
water pushes the boat will not be there.
Therefore, always keep all parts of your body away
pump intake - and never operate the type
boat in shallow water.
