It is important to select the correct type of propulsion system for your boat. The performance of the boat will be impact with the horsepower and weight. Engine of the boat is an essential part of a motor boat. If the boat is underpowered, it will provide poor performance because the engine will continually work harder. In case if the boat is overpowered, it may risk and exceed the operating speed safety level for which it was designed.
The size of the engine matters depending on the boat. When selecting the correct and appropriate engine for the boat to be purchased, it is important to check the weight and size of the boat. Also consider the weight of passengers, gear and fuel when measuring the boats weight. As a boat owner choosing the right boat engine is important. May boat part supply stores have outboard engines for sale.
They have a wide selection of different varieties of outboard engine for sale. It is important to pick the right power for your boat’s engine. When boat owners look at gasoline motor engines such as outboard, inboard or stern drive they have to know that there are three different types of fuel delivery system in the market today. Each delivery systems of fuel is unique in its own way and each fuel system has its own list of benefits. These systems are direct fuel injection, electronic fuel injection and carburetted fuel system. The difference in these systems are:
• Direct fuel injection – has low emission rate. Excellent economy for fuel. Instant start with a turn- key. Idling smoothly. During warm climates vapour lock is reduced. Air, water and altitude temperatures can be automatically adjusted. High power.Availability of self diagnoses. The fuel system is sealed in helping to eliminate oxidation in fuel.
• Electronic fuel injection – in short EFI. Has an uniformity in fuel and air distribution. Cold engine start. There are also similar features like the direct fuel injection. They are emission rate is low especially if the four stroke motor is used. Fuel economy is excellent. High power and throttle response. Availability of system that self diagnose.
• Carburetted fuel system – this system is the lowest initial cost. Design is simple. Emission rate is higher than DFI or EFI systems. Fuel economy is poor and low when measured to a DFI or EFi system.
Selecting the correct engine type and propeller for the boat is important. Boat engines come in many types of engines. It can be single or double engine, diesel or gas and so on.
