Why Choose a 2 Stroke Outboard Motor?

Two-stroke outboards have historically been popular across many boating applications. Depending on the particular engine, advantages can include relatively simple construction, strong power-to-weight characteristics and lower engine weight compared with some alternatives.

However, not every 2-stroke engine is the same. Technology, fuel systems, emissions, maintenance requirements, weight and performance vary significantly between manufacturers, generations and individual models. Always compare the specifications of the actual engines you are considering.

2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke Outboard Motors

Choosing between a 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboard depends on your boat and how you intend to use it. Important considerations include engine weight, fuel consumption, purchase cost, maintenance, noise, operating characteristics and the availability of suitable engines in your required horsepower range.

For boaters considering both technologies, explore our 4 Stroke Outboards alongside the 2-stroke models available on this page.

Choosing the Correct Horsepower

Your boat manufacturer’s recommended horsepower range should be the starting point when selecting an outboard. Consider the vessel’s hull design, weight, passenger and cargo load, typical operating conditions and intended use.

More horsepower is not automatically better. An engine should be appropriately matched to the boat’s specifications for safe and effective operation.

Check Your Outboard Shaft Length

Before ordering, make sure the engine shaft configuration is suitable for your boat’s transom. Outboards are available in different shaft lengths, and an incorrect match can affect performance and operation.

Check your vessel specifications and the measurements of the individual engine before purchasing.
