An outboard motor saves space in the cabin compared to an inboard motor, and you can carry more fishing tackle and swimming gear. No need to worry about having too much stuff.

Thanks to direct drive technology, outboard motors have fewer moving parts, reducing the time and cost of regular maintenance.
