Riassunto:

Is your outboard motor costing you more in dealer bills than it should?

A single dealer service visit costs $150 to $400 for basic maintenance. The same work done yourself costs $30 to $60 in parts and takes 1 to 2 hours. Over the life of a motor, DIY maintenance saves thousands of dollars, and gives you something more valuable than money: the knowledge to fix problems yourself, including on the water when no dealer is available.

Outboard Motor Maintenance & Repair is the complete DIY guide to keeping your outboard running reliably season after season. Written for boat owners, not mechanics. Every procedure includes step-by-step instructions, the tools and parts required, estimated time, and difficulty level.

Inside this book:

Understand how your outboard works: two-stroke vs. four-stroke, fuel system, cooling, electrical, lower unit, and complete drivetrain power flow
Follow a complete maintenance schedule: every use, 50 hours, 100 hours, and annual service tasks in one clear table
Master the essential jobs: oil change, gear oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, impeller, and zincs with step-by-step instructions
Solve the ethanol problem: fuel stabilization, carburetor cleaning, water separation, fuel line replacement, and vapor lock prevention
Prevent the most expensive repair in boating: lower unit service, propeller selection, shaft seal inspection, and driveshaft maintenance
Diagnose any problem systematically: 10-page troubleshooting chapter with diagnostic tables for every symptom, plus the five-step diagnostic method
Handle emergencies on the water: fouled prop, overheating, fuel failure, electrical problems, and a complete emergency toolkit checklist
Winterize correctly: complete checklist with step-by-step fuel stabilization, fogging, freeze prevention, and storage options
Fight corrosion: zinc anodes, post-use care, saltwater vs. freshwater maintenance, stray current prevention, and annual corrosion inspection
Choose the right motor: horsepower sizing by boat type, new vs. used buying guide, used motor inspection checklist, shaft length selection, and break-in procedure

Includes over 40 tables and checklists, a structured Maintenance Log, Torque Specifications Quick Reference, Troubleshooting Quick Reference, and a comprehensive Glossary of outboard terminology.

Whether you own a 9.9 HP tiller motor on a jon boat or a 300 HP four-stroke on a center console, the maintenance principles are the same. This book covers both two-stroke and four-stroke motors of all sizes.

Written by a former ship captain with decades of hands-on marine engine experience.
