Rating of the best motors for boats

It is necessary for fishermen, hunters or simply tourists, lovers of water recreation to move by boat on water bodies. Oars or sails are still in the system for small boats, but are not suitable for everyday tasks. The first option requires considerable physical costs at a low maximum speed, and the second completely depends on the whims of nature - the presence of a tailwind.

"Hand-powered" in small boats was replaced by a mechanical engine over a century ago. True, steam was the driving force then. But progress does not stand still and bulky steam units have been replaced by compact gasoline and electric motors. A variety of choices are available on the market. Low power motors for inflatable boats, stronger for larger models and boats, environmentally friendly outboard motors. Manufacturers have taken care to satisfy any needs of buyers.

We've compiled a list of the best outboard motors based on expert opinions and real customer reviews. Our recommendations will help you make the best choice for your requirements and desires. There are many competitors on the world market for equipment, but we have selected the best manufacturers and recommend that you pay special attention to them:

Power: up to 5 HP

Launch: manual / Power: up to 5 HP / Electrical
The main advantages
  • Advanced new generation outboard electric motor with digital Maximizer function that allows you to stay on the water five times longer than previous models
  • A switching voltage converter installed on the model saves battery power and extends the battery life of the electric motor
  • A 15 cm long motor tiller with a telescopic handle allows you to comfortably control the engine and control the speed and direction of the boat
  • The low battery indicator will prompt you in time to head to the shore and free you from the need to go back on oars
  • The resilient and reliable drive shaft is made from quality composite materials that are three times stronger than steel. This allows you to navigate in shallow water without fear of collision with silt, algae or rocks
Launch: manual / Power: up to 5 HP / Electrical
The main advantages
  • Compact lightweight outboard boat motor (9 kg), powered by a 40V universal battery that is compatible with more than 25 G-MAX 40V devices
  • Convenient telescopic tiller with control controller allows you to smoothly change the speed and direction of the boat
  • Thanks to the ability to adjust the depth of the two-blade propeller, the boat moves freely in shallow water
  • Mounting bracket with a tilt angle mechanism, in the form of a double stainless steel clamp, makes it possible to quickly and easily install the motor on most boats with a transom
  • A specially designed two-bladed propeller does not catch algae on water bodies of any depth. Together with an electromagnetic motor, it is mounted on a collapsible drive shaft made of durable composite materials that are not subject to corrosion
Launch: manual / Power: up to 5 HP / Electrical
The main advantages
  • Outboard motor with autonomous power supply from a deep-discharge traction battery (12 V) for movement on water bodies up to 4.6 km
  • Adjustable two-bladed propeller depth and tilt angle allow the engine to operate even in shallow water
  • Manual engine controller, conveniently located on the tiller, allows for smooth speed changes while keeping track of course
  • Provides 5 forward speeds with a maximum speed of 4.4 km / h and three reverse speeds for easy maneuvering and docking in tight spaces
  • Simple and convenient motor mounting in the form of a bracket with a clamp ensures reliable fixation of the motor on the boat transom
Launch: manual / Power: up to 5 HP / Electrical
The main advantages
  • Suspended single-phase electric motor of a new generation with independent power supply 12V and a low weight of 7 kg for installation on almost any small boat weighing up to 600 kg
  • Reliable and resilient drive shaft made of composite materials that are three times stronger than steel
  • A more powerful motor winding made of quality materials has a positive effect on the battery's performance, extending its operating time
  • With the hand controller located on the telescopic tiller, 5 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds can be infinitely varied for docking or maneuvering in difficult conditions
  • Wedge-shaped lead screw, mounted on the Cool Power electromagnetic motor, is protected from algae, which guarantees stable boat movement

Electrical

Launch: manual / Power: up to 5 HP / Electrical
The main advantages
  • The electric engine does not require any fuel and does not pollute the atmosphere and water during operation
  • High thrust allows the engine to be installed on boats and other floating craft weighing up to 1500 kg
  • The special design of the transom mount allows, if necessary, to raise the motor out of the water with one hand
  • The telescopic tiller is adjustable in length, and can also be deflected at an angle of up to 54 degrees, which makes control of the boat more convenient and accurate
  • The special design of the screw and the protective cover on the boom make it easy to move in water bodies with abundant underwater vegetation, as well as in shallow water and swampy areas
Launch: manual / Power: up to 5 HP / Electrical
The main advantages
  • Digital Maximiser technology provides electronic control of engine power, allowing up to five times less battery power consumption than comparable electric motors
  • Infinitely variable speed control in the forward and reverse gear greatly simplifies the control of the watercraft, in contrast to engines with stepped speed change
  • The boom is made of a durable and lightweight composite, and is also protected from kinks in case of collision with hard underwater objects
  • Thanks to the special shape of the screw, it is excluded from entanglement in algae, which allows you to freely move around swampy or densely overgrown areas of water bodies
  • Overheating protection system significantly extends engine life even with intensive use
Launch: manual / Power: up to 5 HP / Electrical
