Boats continue to influence life in more ways than ever imagined from the dawn of civilization. The watercraft is used for transport, military expeditions, fishing, sports, recreation, and traveling. Traditionally boats were powered by human labor and wind sails.

The water engine has played a huge role in the development of boating in the last century more than anything else. It is now possible for one to sail on a long-distance without knowing the art of rowing as all they need is a water engine.

The outboard is the most popular of all water engines, being used in close to 80% of all boats. The other boat engines are a jet drive engine, a sterndrive engine, and an inboard engine. Outboards are flexible and can be attached to all boat types, from canoes to yachts. There are different types of outboards for varying boat sizes or weight.

The outboard has to be strong, stable and reliable to carry a fully loaded boat. A horsepower is a unit used to measure the strength of an outboard. It is equivalent to 550 pounds per foot per second or 746 watts of energy.

Outboards can range from 1.5HP to astronomical units such as 550HP. A 6HP outboard is suitable for many small boats. This outboard is small and strong to haul small boats and carry goods and many passengers.

How to maintain an Outboard Engine

The longevity of your outboard is pegged on how well you treat it. You have to develop regular and consistent outboard maintenance habits to see your outboard lifecycle exceed its warranty and further.

Poor maintenance leads to engine blockages, dissolving of the fuel tubes, and in the worst cases, accidents due to outboard malfunctions. You can pull out the following maintenance tips after every outing to see your engine stay as viable as a brand new engine.

Regular Flushing

Always flush the engine after every outing. The task of ensuring that your outboard motor is clean is one that should be done after every trip. You have to develop the habit of flushing the engine, whether on a freshwater adventure or a saltwater outing.

Old motors do not have mounts, so you’ve got to buy them a set of flushing “earmuffs.” Connect a garden hose to the mounts or flushing earmuffs, switch on the pump to flush the engine.

Ensure Good Flow in the Pump

Flushing is not the only activity that can increase the tenacity and longevity of the engine. It is a good habit to ensure that there are no blockages using your fingers. Moving your fingers slowly into the water stream while flushing can help diagnose blockages.

When the output is weak during the testing, it is probably because the flow has been obstructed by debris. You can remedy the problem by working a wire into the tube to clear it.

You should always switch off the engine while working the tube. Restart the engine after clearing the tube and confirm the flow in case it is still low; then the water impeller needs changing.

Clean Mechanical components

Mechanical parts need to stay clean to avoid corrosion caused by cold water and, at times, the oil. You should turn off the engine when cleaning mechanical parts to prevent accidents. You can use anti-corrosive on the mechanical parts, especially when you plan to store the outboard.

Disconnect the fuel line before long-term storage

When preparing your boat for long-term storage, disconnect the fuel line. Ensure there is no oil in the carburetor to stop gumming up. You can burn up all the oil in the carburetor before removing the fuel line.

Maintain Functional Spark plugs

Replace the outboard engine’s spark plugs whenever necessary. It is difficult to know how long the spark plugs last, but when you see excessive fuel quantities in the engine or the engine fails to rev up, it is probably the spark plugs. Use a spark plug tester to confirm their functionality.

Use Fresh oil and uncontaminated fuel

Always use fresh oil that the manufacturer recommends. Using contaminated oil can increase grime and impurities in the outboard engine. As you help keep the engine lubricated and clean, also use the right fuel for your outboard.

The fuel should not have any impurities, such as water. Water, for instance, can damage spark plugs and cause other malfunctions.

Avoid using ethanol as a gasoline additive as it is can cause damage to the internal components of the engine. Ethanol often dissolves gaskets, fuel hose, and the seal leading to water intake.,

How to choose An Outboard

Having the right outboard is crucial to ensure you neither underpower nor overpower your water vessel. The horsepower is a significant factor but not the only factor you should look out for when choosing the next outboard for your boat. Each of the factors contributes to the durability of the engine as well as the ease of use.

Stay Within Your Budget

Outboard motors are definitely the cheapest of all water engines though some may cost an arm and a leg to acquire. You have to look for an outboard motor engine that is cost-effective. The engine should have all the necessary features while retailing at a reasonable cost. You have to shop around different outboard motors to get an idea of what you really need and ensure that it is within a reasonable cost.

The type of Engine

There are two main types of outboard engines: two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines. In a two-stroke engine, all the actions of the engine are completed in two strokes of the engine or a single revolution of the crankshaft.

The two-stroke engine weighs less for the same horsepower and is less complex to maintain. It was the preferred engine for those who favor speed, but the four-stroke is catching up.

The four-stroke engine outlasts the two-stroke engine but is heavier. It uses pure fuel rather than oil and fuel mixing as in 2-stroke engine outboards. 4-stroke is relatively quiet compared to its counterparts but has a long shaft that is not suited for small boats.

Fuel Efficiency

The maintenance cost of the outboard goes beyond the repairs and other formulas necessary to the boat. The most consistent cost one has to incur to use an outboard is fuel cost.

Getting an outboard with higher fuel efficiency can save you lots of money in the long run, even when the fuel efficiency is one percent. You can feel the real difference in fuel costs stacks when you use your boat for longer trips than short trips.

Type of Fuel Injection

Fuel injection is how fuel is introduced into the combustion engine to produce energy for your outboard motor. Many of the outboard manufacturers have come up with varied fuel injection technologies; however, the methods are either an enhancement or a mix of the three primary fuel injection methods.

The basic fuel injection techniques are direct fuel injection, electronic fuel injection, carbureted fuel injection, and electronic fuel injection.

Each fuel injection technology has its efficiency; the most efficient fuel injection is direct fuel injection, while the least effective fuel injection is carbureted fuel injection. Direct fuel injection deposits the fuel directly into the engine cylinders that result in an efficient and reliable performance.

Electronic fuel injection uses an electric system to regulate the flow of fuel and air into the system. The carbureted fuel injection system is the cheapest to acquire but the most expensive in the long run.

In the carbureted fuel injection, there is a gadget that controls flows into the cylinder. 

Use of Alternative Fuels

Petroleum oil products are the most common fuels in outboards. Some outboards use petrol, diesel, and so forth. Manufacturers have come up with several fuel alternatives to petrol.

The best attempts are the electric-powered outboards, LPG gas, and propane outboards. Alternative fuel outboards have not gone mainstream as the alternatives are not robust as the petroleum-fueled outboards.

For instance, the electric fueled outboard has the same strength as other outboards, is less noisy, and does not produce any emissions.

However, the weight of the outboard engines and the battery pack combined makes them unsuitable for small boats. The most powerful electric engine can run for a maximum of 6 hours without charge, which makes them less viable.  

The weight of a boat determines the type of outboard. Light dinghies and skiffs will, in practice, carry fewer goods and passengers hence require less power to carry. The weight consideration also depends on the weight of the outboard. The weight of the outboard contributes to the total weight of the goods that have to be carried by boat.

Maintenance Cost

The cost of an overboard is not only its markup price on the shelf but also the cost of repairs the overboard will have on you. o through the 6HP outboard repair review to get a feel for the different problems the outboard motor is likely to have and the probability of taking it to a mechanic for repairs.

Make sure you can access spare parts and mechanics. For this reason, you should purchase popular brands so that you can easily get spares at a low cost.

6HP Outboard Motors

There are many 6HP outboards in the market, especially with most 8HP 2-stroke outboards being demoted to 6HP while the 5HP 4-stroke engines being promoted to 6HP outboards. We have looked and tested several outboards, and the following engines stand out in the pack.

The BF6 is Honda’s best small outboard motor yet carries 1.5 liters of fuel which is more than the 1.1 liters by Mercury Suzuki and Yamaha. The portable fuel tank is the latest feature on a Honda BF6 engine though it is present in all its competitors. The outboard has more power due to an rpm range of 5,000 to 6,000.

New motors come with three accessory props. The fuel-system components are easily accessible on the outboard; the fuel pump and a good size filter are located under the carburetor. You can enjoy automatic decompression from the outboard’s new powerhead that lets you pull the starter cord with just two fingers.

An ECU will reduce the rpm to 2,300 when the oil pressure is low to protect the engine and give the operator some thrust. You will note the downward pressure due to a bright-red low oil pressure warning light on the front of the outboard.

The engines have a swift reaction; hence the motor stops running immediately after the stop button on the front is compressed, unlike the older model that required the operator to hold down the button until the engine halted. There is an increased charge capacity of the alternator from 3 amps to 6 amps.

• Have a larger fuel tank compared to the competition
• The outboard is easy to control and reduces numbness as rubber motor mounts that isolate the inherent vibration
• They work smoothly and silently for a good sailing trip
• They are lightweight and compact for portability

Evinrude E6RG4 6 HP

Evinrude is one of the biggest names in outboard names, making the first viable outboard over a century ago in 1908. The company has increased innovation in the 55 pounds 6 HP outboard. It is a single-cylinder engine that uses carburetor fuel injection.

The device has high maneuverability with a manual and power trim. It uses a steering tiller with a large displacement of 7.5 Cl. The shaft length is 15 inches; hence it is easier to manage and has a 5-year warranty.

Question: How fast will a 6hp outboard go?

Answer: A 6 HP engine is powerful and can have high speeds. Depending on the weight of the boat or whether it is full throttle or half throttle. However, most 6 HP engines’ cruising speed ranges from 12 HP to 20 HP when on full throttle.

Question: How Much Weight Does a 6HP Outboard Carry?

Answer: A six-horsepower engine can haul a minimal weight. Every horsepower can support up to 40 pounds to motor along smooth waters at 20 miles per hour. A six-horsepower outboard can, in theory, carry up to 240 pounds at cruising speed. 

Question: What is the advantage of contra-rotating propellers?

Answer: The use of contra-rotating props helps recover energy lost due to the motion of the air in the slipstream of the forward propeller and allows for an increase in power without a corresponding increase in propeller diameter. It will also help counter the torque effects of a high-power piston engine.

Question: Which is better: 2-stroke or 4-stroke outboard motor?

Answer: An outboard’s efficiency is beyond the type of engine, but on a side-to-side comparison, each engine has the relative merits that make it a suitable choice for an outboard. Four-stroke engines have higher fuel economy, are quiet, have more torque and speed, while two-stroke engines tend to be light and accelerate faster.

The 6 HP outboard is a flexible and robust water engine that can last all weather and season types. It is suited for small watercraft that requires more energy than a smaller horsepower engine would be underpowered, and a higher horsepower engine would overpower. The most suitable of all the 6 HP outboards are the 2-stroke engine outboards.

The Honda BF6 stands out of all the 6 HP engines due to its flexibility with a 360° steering and easy handling. It is the least noisy outboard in the class, a large portable fuel tank, and a high RPM range. The engines have fast reaction times. It is fuel-efficient and can run for long.

The Best Outboard Motor for a Sailboat

Last Updated by

Daniel Wade

June 15, 2022

The technology of sailing has remained mostly unchanged for centuries. Since learning to harness the power of wind, sailors have been transiting the world’s oceans, expanding trade routes and exploring new cultures. Although nothing more than a renewable natural resource and a single sail is needed to move a sailboat along the water, there are times when it’s important (and in our modern age, convenient) to leverage off a motor to get you where you need to go.

Like any unique piece of equipment in the world of sailing, outboard motors come in a variety of sizes with features and options to fit any owner’s needs. But of course, one size doesn’t fit all. Every boat is different – even those that come off the production line at the same time – and every owner is looking for something specific when it comes to their sailboat. From the purpose of owning the boat (blue water sailing vs. racing) to the location and impact on maintenance (cold weather vs. tropical weather), an outboard motor is just one of the many elements that will define a sailboat’s function and performance.

Whether you’re a new owner, or a veteran sailor, it’s important to know the basic components of any outboard motor . You should also have an idea of what you want your outboard motor to do for your size and model sailboat.

Table of contents

Outboard Motor Size

A larger boat doesn’t necessarily mean a larger motor. Although there are different ratings for different classes of boats, a small power plant can be more effective than a larger one. Conversely, an outboard motor can easily overpower a small boat and create unsafe conditions at high speeds. Guidelines and requirements differ between motorboats and sailboats. And while there is some overlap, these considerations apply directly to sailboats.

Engine power has to do with how much water a boat displaces. For sailboats, smaller is better. If you’re a bit of a math geek, the exact formula is 4 horsepower for every 2200lb of weight. Coupled with a propeller size, which can be determined using a propeller calculator , you’ll get a rough estimate to use as a guideline to start shopping. This is a good first step, since size is essentially a fixed variable. Though it’s worth noting for those who are buying a sailboat directly from the manufacturer, that actual weight will increase after delivery – once all other rigging and outfitting has been completed.

Physical size of your outboard motor is an important consideration and is directly related to the design of your sailboat. An outboard motor is made up of three parts from top to bottom:

• The Powerhead – Houses the engine. The bulbous part of the motor.
• The Midsection – Houses the exhaust system. Varies in length and design.
• The Lower Unit – Propellers attach to the gearbox. Submerged when operational.

Shaft length is an important design element and should be considered when purchasing a motor. A shaft that is too short will obviously prevent the propeller from being submerged in water, while a shaft that is too long will extend the propellers too far. Not only will it decrease the efficiency of your engine, it will create unnecessary drag. Know your transom length when looking at different models.

When an outboard motor is not being used, it should be stowed in its upright position. Some of the larger motors have an automated switch that will raise it out of the water, but some must be secured manually. Make sure everyone who sails with you is capable of lifting and securing the motor out of the water in case of an emergency.

Outboard Motor Power

Any kind of motor installed on a sailboat (inboard or outboard) should be viewed as a tool to help with maneuvering. Although there are some very skilled sailors out there who can sail into their slip without the aid of a motor, many harbors have restrictions that either don’t allow for the use of full sails, or there simply isn’t enough room to maneuver. A motor with both forward and reverse gears helps tremendously with docking.

While there is no exact correlation between boat length and total weight, the following is a rough guideline:

• 1-4 HP for boats up to 20’ (approximately 1000-2000lbs)
• 4-18 HP for boats between 20-30’ (approximately 2,000-10,000lbs)
• 18-34 HP for boats between 30-40’ (10,000lbs or more)

There are some things to consider when deciding how much horsepower you need or want. Location and the type of conditions you expect you’ll be sailing in is one of the biggest factors. Heavy seas and high winds typically associated with open ocean sailing will put more strain on your engine, and in some cases overpower it, whereas an engine that is heavier than needed will add unnecessary weight when racing. If you plan on motoring for long distances, consider purchasing an engine that will stand up to a lot of use.

Less HP is required for:

• Boat Design – Single hull boats made out of fiberglass require less power.
• 2-Stroke Engines – This is due to an overall lighter weight engine and higher torque.
• Diesel Engines – Diesel delivers more torque because the rate of compression is greater.
• Bigger Propellers – More surface area means more water displacement.
• Location – Motoring on lakes and rivers requires less power than open ocean.
• Distance – A smaller engine is suitable for shorter distances.

More HP is required for:

• Boat Design – Catamarans and heavier boats (regardless of size) require more power.
• 4-Stroke Engine – Engine weight and an extra step of compression yields less power.
• Gas Engines – The rate of compression for gas engines is much lower than diesel.
• Smaller Propeller – A smaller propeller displaces less water.
• Location – Open ocean, with tides and currents, will strain a smaller engine.
• Distance – Cover more distance when wind conditions are poor requires a larger engine.

Outboard Motor Cost

There is no way to quantify how much you will pay for any given motor. But there are several costs associated with owning an outboard motor that are definitely worth considering when making your purchase.

Certainly, a lager, more-powerful engine is going to be costlier than a smaller engine with lower horsepower. But as mentioned earlier, size is not necessarily a guarantee of performance and efficiency. At the same time, there’s only so much you can get out of an engine before you exceed its capability. Larger engines tend to help with resale value should you choose to sell your boat at some point, but a boat outfitted with right motor to begin with will always perform better than a motor that’s large just for the sake of it.

Factor in maintenance costs and fuel when looking at models. You want to run your engine at around 90% of its max RPMs to balance proper fuel usage and with wear and tear. Making a few calls to marine mechanics to inquire about an engine you’re interested in will give you a lot of information a sales person won’t be able to give you. The good news about outboard motors is that most of them are portable, which means you won’t have the added cost of either paying a mechanic to come to you, or having to get your boat to the yard, which usually requires help from a very good friend willing to spend all day driving and sailing back and forth.

Owning a boat requires constant care and maintenance, so a little knowledge goes a long way. While an outboard motor is not required for sailing, it’s a convenient addition that can greatly increase your enjoyment out on the water. Being patient and spending time researching engines will not only help you make the correct purchase but will help you take advantage of a great deal when it presents itself. Whether you sail the Caribbean, or race off the coast of California in a catamaran, there is an outboard motor that’s just right for you.

Tohatsu Sailpro Review/Log

• Thread starter Leeward Rail
• Start date Jul 1, 2017
• Catalina Owner Forums
• Catalina 22

Leeward Rail

Good morning everyone, In the time that I have been looking at switch to a different outboard, I kept seeing a lot of posts in various websites about the Tohatsu Outboards. Their 6HP Sailpro 4 Stroke model seems to receive almost universal praise, with a few caveats. Since I just received my new Sailpro and am in the process of preparing it for use, I thought it would be helpful, If I compiled all the info I have found. I'll be updating this thread as time goes on, and I use the motor more and more.  

• 15 hp is more power than is needed for a 22ft sailboat. A keel boat won't normally plane on the water , so it is normally limited to it's "hull speed". The Catalina 22's hull speed is around 6.29 knots.
• No alternator in the Mercury (available as a Quicksilver addon kit for $115 USD)
• Have to mix oil/gas
• Uses a lot more fuel than a 6 hp 4 stroke
• Pollutes a lot (don't you just love the smoke and rainbow sheen on the water, that a 2 stroke makes ?)
• Lightest model weighs approx 41kgs/90lbs. This long shaft was likely more. Heavier than the Tohatsu Sailpro 6hp. Makes the boat slower when actually sailing.
• No Fuel/Oil to mix
• 3 Star Ultra Low Emission (meets the California Air Resource Board's 2008 exhaust emission standards) 65% less Emissions than the 1 Star Low Emission 2 Stroke
• Supposedly quieter than the 2 Stroke ?
• Includes a charging system
• Fuel Consumption = 0.53 GPH @ 5500 RPM (1/3 of the fuel of the Merc 15) (based on manufacturer's data). In most cases it won't be at full throttle so the consumption will be much less in day to day use.
• Long shaft version weighs 61lbs (at least 30lbs less than the Merc)
• High thrust prop and 6hp is enough to get the boat to hull speed even in ocean swells
• 25" Long shaft keeps the prop in the water in waves. (5" longer than my 2011 Mercury)
• 5 Year Limited Warranty
• Update: Has a Warning Light and Alarm with speed governor. This is activated when oil pressure is low, or maximum allowable rpm is exceeded.
• Uses a separate shift lever, instead of having it simply being simply a function of twisting the throttle
• The steering "Friction System" is not designed to be a lock. After a bit of use, it is unable to hold the motor locked straight when under sail. (There is a bolt in lock kit available, but it prevents you from using the motor's tiller to improve maneuvering in tight spaces)
• The motor (made in Japan)
• 12 Litre (3.1 USG) external fuel tank with fuel gauge (Made in Canada)
• Fuel supply line (fuel rated rubber) with primer bulb, and quick connect fittings on both ends. (MUCH nicer than Quicksilver one I had for the 2011 Mercury)
• 10 x 13 mm Socket Wrench
• 16mm Socket Wrench
• Socket Wrench handle
• Straight and Phillips Screwdriver shafts
• Screwdriver Handle
• Wrist Safety Lanyard with stop switch clip
• 1000 mm (39 inch) Emergency Start Rope
• Additional NGK DCPR6E Spark Plug
• Additional Split Cotter pin for prop
• Additional Stop switch lock clip
• 6ft cable for connecting motor charging system to battery. (Has Ring terminals on battery end, and Female Bullet Connectors on motor end. Not great connectors, but it's too short to reach the C22's battery anyhow so I'll be using something else)

@Gene Neill Thanks for the great info on the fuel consumption ! What range did the 3 gallons give you in the high winds/wave scenario ? What wind/wave conditions are was talking ?  

• The cable supplied to run to the battery needs to be replaced and modified:
• Only 6 ft. long. Not long enough to reach most battery locations on a sailboat. I suspect the cable is the same one sold for using with a small power boat. Hopefully they will supply longer cables with future SailPro models.
• Uses bullet connectors at the motor. They are not waterproof. Since the cable connects to the motor at the bottom of the power head, I don't think this is a great idea.
• The gear shift lever "just" clears the grab handle on the oem Garhauer Marine C22 outboard mount, when the motor is tilted up fully. If you have a different mount this might not work, depending on it's design.

• The throttle has a friction adjustment knob. All the tiller outboards I've used, never had one so I'm not sure why this one does. Presumably the throttle could vibrate out of where you set it ?

• The fuel filter is somewhat opaque. I prefer clear ones so I can visually inspect them.

• You need to remove 3 bolts, along with the pull start recoil system, to use an emergency starting rope. Having to use tools could be a problem in an emergency or in rough conditions. (I wonder if there is enough room to install some type of wing bolt modification ?)
• The motor is quiet at idle. But, it does not seem noticeably quieter than the 2011 Merc 2 Stroke when at 1/3 throttle.

Great thread. I'm really tempted to retire the 1957 Johnson 7.5 my Cat 22 came to me with and get one of these. Hmmm  

In 2 weeks I'll plan on getting on the water videos and data, and will be posting info on the steering lock "problem" and different solutions to that. When I was doing it's initial startup run at idle, it started on the 3rd pull. Smooth idle for a single cylinder motor IMO. Not bad at all, since it was fresh out of the box Like any motor, it will likely have some little tricks to start it, if you ever flood etc. I've had a few time in my life when I needed to urgently start an unfamiliar motor. I'd like to play around with it and see if I can get it running easily in those situations.

Just a note about the snap on fuel connector that goes on the motor. It is proprietary. It looks like the ones you can find at any marine store but there is something different about it. When it wears out, eventually it will leak air and need to be replaced. The only one I could get to work was a genuine tohatsu part. YMMV  

About the steering lock. Look hard enough,you will find a fix,involves glueing fabric to the stainless steel band inside the housing at the lock screw. I did that to mine last winter,pleased with the results.

Sailm8 said: Just a note about the snap on fuel connector that goes on the motor. It is proprietary. Click to expand

Leeward, I can't answer that with much accuracy. I bough the motor used and ran it for about a year before I had problems. I went to the marine store and bought a look a like. It worked fine for about 3 months then leaked air and fuel. I sent off for a OEM part, which looks identical but cost 3X as much and have been using it for a year. I have a spare ready to go.  

Reviving an old thread, because it seems like a good place to keep relevant info on the Tohatsu Sailpro. I just joined the Tohatsu club, replacing my old Honda 7.5. With some hesitation, as the Honda has been fabulously reliable, but I like the idea of getting 30+ lbs off the transom; and my aging back was complaining about lifting the 90 lb beast. So, for those of you who've used the Tohatsu / Merc / Nissan 6hp for awhile, what repairs have you run into - what spare parts should I carry? I have a couple spare plugs and an extra fuel line, which I'm hoping will cover some potential problems. The local outboard mechanic I bought it from said he's occasionally seen a coil fail; but he said that's rare - and a spare is ~$125, so I'm not sure yet whether I'll spring for one. Has anyone here had problems that would justify carrying Tohatsu's carb repair kit or water pump kit? Anything else you'd recommend?

How to Calculate Outboard Motor Size for Sailboats

It seems so complex to pick the right engine size for your sailboat. I was done with complex calculations and tried to make it easier here.

How to pick the right outboard motor size for your sailboat? To get the right amount of horsepower needed to efficiently propel a sailboat, divide the displacement of the boat (in lb) by 550. You need approximately 1 HP per 550 lb of displacement or 4 HP per 2200 lb. Most sailboats don't need a motor with more than 30 HP.

In this article, I'm talking about small outboard engines for sailboats. We're talking about displacement hulls here, so in other words: keel boats. They need more power than flat bottoms.

But they're not powerboats - so it's not our mission to go fast. It's our mission to get decent speed, good control over the boat, and the best possible fuel efficiency. Without breaking the bank of course.

On this page:

How to pick the right motor size, other factors that are important for size, why is the right motor size important, is there a max hp for sailboats, in conclusion, related questions.

Sailboats need way smaller engines than powerboats. That's great news (unless your ultimate goal is speed), because it's cheaper to buy, cheaper to drive, and cheaper to maintain.

The amount of power you need is related to the hull displacement of your boat.

I like to use the simple formula:

HP = displacement (lb) / 550

So 1 HP for every 550 lb displacement, and 4 hp per 2200 lb.

Here, HP is the amount of horsepower you need to reach the maximum hull speed. This is in optimal conditions. So you have smooth water, no windage, a clean and polished hull, and so on.

If you want to get it absolutely right, you also need to correct for propellor size. And of course, a lot of other factors come into play (more on that later). But generally, these engine sizes will work with the following weights:

That sounds about right to me. But remember that these are all rough estimates: I just try to give you a ballpark figure. There is no one formula to get an exact number. The hull design, sailing conditions, and your personal preference are all very important.

If you're serious about getting a new engine, I definitely recommend to get advice from an expert . But you know, salespeople always recommend the Turbo version. Remember that you don't have to overpower a sailboat. Usually you don't need anything over 30 HP. So at least you now know what will work on average.

What is hull displacement?

• Hull displacement is the weight of the boat, or the amount of water the boat displaces.
• Maximum hull displacement is the weight of the boat when it's fully loaded, including crew.

The weight of the boat is the same as its displacement, because the weight of any object is exactly equal to the weight of the water it displaces (aka: pushes aside). This is called Archimedes Principle.

The weight slightly differs in saltwater from freshwater, because saltwater is heavier. In saltwater, the boat gets a bit lighter. So in theory you can use a smaller engine for a bluewater boat, but in practice this is offset by the stronger current and wind.

How to find the displacement of your boat?

Most manufacturers simply give you the displacement of your boat. If you can't find any data, because, for example, you own an old boat, you can weigh your boat on a truck scale. You can also haul it out and measure it (which is painstaking work).**

Tip: if you're gonna weigh your boat, simply drive it onto a truck scale, and retract the weight of the trailer from the total weight.

Of course, it's not so simple. This formula gives a rough estimate. But for me this was way clearer than all that black magic that I get when I ask people what size engine I should get.

Let's look at the things this formula doesn't take into account.

2-strokes are more powerful than 4-strokes. Two-stroke engines fire once every revolution and four-strokes fire once every other revolution. This makes the 2-stroke twice as powerful. They provide more torque at a higher RPM. But they also wear more quickly. The 4-stroke will last you a lot longer, and its also more fuel efficient.

The right propellor size is just as important as having enough horsepower. With a smaller prop diameter, it has to work harder to generate the same propulsion as a larger diameter. But you can't just go larger always. The prop affects the RPM of your engine, and you have to get in the right range (more on this later). You also have to check the maximum diameter that fits your boat.

Diesels have more torque, because the compression rate is higher than that of gasoline engines. So if you consider a diesel, you can do with less HPs.

High windage hulls (multihulls) need a bit more. A multihull (or larger hull in general) suffers from more friction because of the larger surface. So the engine needs to work a little harder.

If you sail longer distances under power , or against the wind it's a good idea to get a larger engine (but not too large). This helps you to save on fuel since you have lower RPM. Especially if you sail offshore or on open sea. The engine needs to work harder due to stronger wind and current.

If you're just sailing in and out of the marina under power, you may need less HP.

Smooth hull designs need less HPs than bulky hull designs, like the classic wooden clippers and crabbers for example.

It matters to get the right size outboard motor for a couple of reasons.

First of all: smaller engines are cheaper, so you save money on buying the engine.

Secondly: smaller engines use a lot less fuel, so you save money on using the engine.

Thirdly: smaller engines are cheaper to maintain: so you save money on maintenance.

So why not get the smallest engine and get the best fuel economy? There are a couple of advantages to getting a (slightly) bigger engine:

• More power means more control (easier to stop the boat, in case you need to)
• Finding the sweet spot might actually reduce fuel consumption

The sweet spot

To perform optimally, an engine should get up to speed. The problem with an overpowered boat is that the engine won't rev up to 80 - 90% of the RPM. This kills fuel efficiency and also the cooling system won't operate optimally.

• The optimal cruising RPM of the engine is about 85-95% of the maximal RPM
• You should reach cruising RPM at hull speed, so your engine should be at about 90% RPM

The propeller size is very important for the RPM. If your prop diameter is too wide, the engine can't get up to speed and struggles to build power. Bad for fuel economy, bad for the engine, and bad for performance.

On the other hand, if your prop is too small, you don't make use of the engine's full power.

If you struggle to get to high RPM, your prop is too large. If your engine is constantly in the red, you're underpropped.

So don't go too big on the prop, but also don't go too small. The easiest way to get it right is to check the engines manual and see what the manufacturer recommends.

You can definitely go too big on a sailboats engine. An overpowered yacht doesn't make any sense. True, it can look cool, but it can't feel cool. Every displacement hull has a maximum hull speed. That means that it cannot go any faster than the max speed. So if your engine can cruise at that speed, it's not getting any better.

The problem with displacement hulls is that they displace the water, or in other words: they push the water in front of them. They cannot move any faster than they can push away the water. And because the resistance increases as speed increases, there's an absolute, physical speed limit for each keelboat.

That's why powerboats have to get out of the water to reach top speed.

Fun fact: the longer your boat, the higher the hull speed. Want to know the maximum hull speed for your boat? You can find it in this article .

So, you can't go faster than your maximum hull speed, so a 50+HP engine is kind of ridiculous. Bear in mind that a large engine also has the following disadvantages:

First of all: larger engines are more expensive, so you spend more money when buying the engine.

Secondly: larger engines use a lot more fuel, so you spend more money when using the engine.

Thirdly: larger engines are more expensive to maintain: so you spend more money on maintenance.

Also, if your engine is too big, it doesn't reach the optimal cruising RPM, so your fuel economy also gets really bad FAST.

I suggest getting the smallest possible engine that gets you to maximum hull speed while it's at roughly 90% of the RPM. As long as it gives you enough control and good handling, it will get you there. If you give up on going fast, you can actually get really good fuel economy and your engine will last you probably 20 years.

If you want to go fast, a sailboat is not the right one for you. You should instead get a powerboat.

I'm just kidding. Read my 13 Reasons Why Sailing is Better Than Powerboating here .

Do sailboats have motors? Most sailboats are power assisted boats, which means they have a small auxiliary engine to cruise in light air. When a sailboat is sailing under engine power, it is considered a motorboat and it doesn't have right of way.

Thanks for answering my questions.

Taylor Bishop

Thanks for explaining how you can figure out what size you need for an outboard motor. You mentioned that you should find the displacement by weigh a boat on a truck scale. I’m interesting to learn if you need to regularly weigh it in case the hull displacement could change or if it will always be consistent.

Shawn Buckles

Hi MitI, you’re welcome, my pleasure.

Hi Taylor, my pleasure.

You don’t need to weigh your boat regularly, as the hull displacement will stay consistent. You could literally see the hull displacement as the amount of space your hull takes up in the water. So as long as you don’t make any major changes to the hull shape or ballast of your boat, you should see no differences in displacement.

Roger S Johnson

How do you measure for shaft size, most outboard motors are for flat bottom and say measure to the bottom of the boat, most sailboats tapper to the aft. Where do you measure for a tapered bottom sail boat?

Will a 5 horse Honda 4 stroke be ok for a 25 foot Pearson Commander sail boat. Thanks for your time Luke

I think it would be Luke.

Great post, thanks for the info. A naive question from a soon-to-be sailor: I’m considering buying a 28 ft sailboat, with 2500 kg (ca. 5500 lbs) displacement. The engine is in pretty good condition, but is old and the original one (from 1977!), so I am also thinking of an alternative scenario in which it fails. I know that in my area replacing an inboard engine will cost double the price I’m putting down for the boat, and since I’m on a budget, that simply won’t be an option and outboards seem to be cheaper. So the question is: is it possible to put an outboard engine on all boats? Is there some factor that would make it impossible to mount an outboard engine on the boat? Thanks!

Garth Powelson

What is minimum length that a sailboat can go without an outboard. Does a 29’ “require by law” to have engine?

Hello Mr. Buckles, Thanks for the informative article. I’m looking to get the smallest possible outboard for my 1.5 ton displacement fiberglass monohull Hood 23’ sloop. Can I get away with a 4HP?!? What size prop would I need?!? (I’m only going to use it when there is NO wind, and, if I can stay 4HP or below, I am not required to register my vessel—which is pretty cool, so here’s hoping!)

Thanks again, Ship

Hi, I’ve got a older Pearson 39’ . I’m looking to remove the old 40 ho westerbeke and go electric. Unsure of what hp is going to be needed?

i am purchasing a catalina 22 ft. i have in mind a 4 HP motor. what would be the length of the shaft.

I am considering buying a 25 ft sailboat with a 7200 lb displacement. The boats top speed is listed at 7knots per hour but the diesel motor does not work. The owner has a 9.9hp outboard that can be purchased with the boat. Is 9.9hp enough to power the boat to at least 5 to 6 knots per hour? Thanks. Rick

What weight outboard would be too much for a 20’ Santana, displacement 1,350 lbs? I don’t want too much weight at the back. I want the boat to be seaworthy.

I have not seen this amount of BS in years :) I’m not a marine engineer, yet physicist & avation engineer. You even can’t tell the difference between mass of the vessel and diplacement :D Fcking genius.

6 HP Outboard Motor: Your Best Quiet, Powerful & Affordable Option

6 HP outboard motors are one of the most popular models for small boats, including tenders, dinghies, Jon boats, inflatable boats, and sailboats, due to their high weight and performance ratio.

Torturing between the simplicity of 2 strokes motors and the efficiency of 4 strokes? Here is a better solution that combines the best of both worlds, plus the additional bonus you will never want to miss.

They are quiet, clean, powerful, and easy to use with long range and enough power to get some smaller boats on the plane ( check the test report ).

Worried about the batteries and price? In fact, this issue has already been well handled by the evolving technology. Read on to learn more about the new technologies and the premium experiences you can enjoy with the simple switch to electric.

Still considering the best 6 HP outboard solutions for your needs? I got your back. Here we provide a comprehensive buying guide to help you select an ideal 6HP outboard motor (including the best 6 HP outboard recommendations).

6 HP Outboard Motor: 3 Major Types

If you are considering buying a 6 HP outboard motor for your boat, you will have two options basically: Combustion outboard motors (including 2 stroke outboards and 4 strokes) and 6 HP electric outboard motors.

#1. Combustion 6HP Outboard Engines

A simple Google search on ‘6 HP outboard motor’ will probably land you on the combustion outboard motor listings, including the 2 stork and 4 stroke types. Some reputable brands in manufacturing 6 HP petrol outboards include Yamaha, Suzuki, Mercury, Honda, Johnson, Tohatsu, and Evinrude.

This traditional type of 6 HP outboard motor has been popular since the outboard motors were born. As the name implies, they rely on petrol to work so you will hear the noise of the combustion while driving. You will need to pull the rope to start every time and do maintenance work regularly.

While the 6hp outboard 2 stroke is smaller, lighter, and simpler in design, the 4 stroke outboard motors are far more fuel efficient, gaining the 4 stroke motors a dominant position in the 6 HP outboard market.

#2. 6 HP Electric Outboard Motors

A more trendy option today is 6 HP electric outboard motor. Compared with its gas counterpart, the electric outboard motor is cleaner, quieter, and easier to use, with much less maintenance required. In fact, the maintenance work is so easy and light (compared with the gas outboards) that many manufacturers market the electric outboards (especially those with direct drive motors) as “no maintenance” outboards.

That’s why more and more boaters are following the trend and upgrading to the 6 HP electric outboard.

Further Reading:  If you are still hesitant about which option to go for your 6 HP outboard motor solution, continue reading our previous post to learn more differences between petrol and electric outboards.

Factors to Consider for the Best 6 HP Outboard Motors

Looking to get a 6 HP outboard motor and don’t know where to start? Not sure whether the 6 HP is suitable for your boating situation? The seemly endless choices and information overload on the Internet can be overwhelming.

Here we’ve summed up the top seven considerations before purchase to help you make an easier and informed decision. Don’t forget to check all the seven aspects to ensure the best pick for your application.

#1. Power & Range

Is 6 HP powerful enough?

First, you will need to make sure the 6 HP outboard motor performance can satisfy your boating needs, whether it’s to get your boat on plane or trolling for an extended range of time.

In terms of performance, the electric outboards and combustion types (with the integrated tanks on the gas engines) are neck and neck. Taking ePropulsion Navy 3.0 Evo , an electric 6 HP outboard as an example, it can go  13.6 miles  (21.9 km) at  10.2 mph  (16.4 kph) for  1:20 hours  if pulling a 12-foot aluminum boat with one person onboard with a single 4096 Wh E80 battery .

The result might differ if you add gear and other passengers to your boat.

However, mind that the electric 6 HP outboard motors can have a big advantage on trolling. More specifically, with the same Navy 3.0 model and same setup as mentioned above, you can get  13:20 hours  and  49.3 miles  (79.3 km) at  3.7 mph  trolling speed. That’s a tremendous increase you can never imagine with gas engines.

The weight can be a deciding factor for small outboards, especially if you don’t have a trailer and need to carry around a lot.

The weight of a decent 6 HP outboard motor usually comes at about 24.3 kg (for ePropulsion Navy 3.0 model) and can slightly differ between various manufacturers.

If the weight is important for you, It’s suggested to go to the official website and compare the specs of each 6 HP outboard motor. Besides the 6 HP outboard motor itself, don’t forget to calculate the weight of the addon battery and petrol to make an informed decision.

Ideally, I would like the 6 HP outboard to be quite quiet and economical.

No one will want to hear the noise while they are supposed to enjoy nature or fishing silently. The 4-stroke motors are quieter compared with the 2 strokes. However, if you want to get rid of the noise, electric 6 HP outboard motors would be your only choice.

#4. Ease of Use

An easy-to-use 6 HP outboard motor can save you a lot of trouble, giving you more time on boating instead of operating the outboard and fixing the issues all the time.

The simplicity can also be an important factor for your family boating journey. One bonus of the electric 6 HP outboard motor is that it allows all family members to enjoy the fun. With a simple twist on the tiller, the 6 HP outboard motor is on the way. No pull start or carburetor issues.

Besides that, you can have the convenience of checking the real-time operation status on the digital screen integrated into the tiller, so you will always be informed of the current boating speed, remaining battery, and runtime.

#5. Functionality

Not all 6 HP outboard motors are made the same. Some quality models are more user-friendly with more advanced features and design advantages.

For example, the ergonomic tiller design of ePropulsion outboards allows you to turn the throttle easily from the left or right side, making it easy to use for a left-handed person. It’s removeable with a backlight digital display. Besides that, it comes with reverse gear, so you can control the direction of your boat freely.

A big bonus point for sailing lovers is that some 6 HP outboards, including Navy 3.0 Evo, support  hydrogeneration function , allowing the motor to get charged from wind and water while sailing. That means you will have extended time and range out of the 6HP outboard motor.

#6. Maintenance

Outboard maintenance is always a headache, especially if you are new to the outboard motors. You can send it to your nearest dealer to have your new 6 HP outboard motor maintained regularly, but it comes at a cost and inconvenience.

An alternative option is to go electric. Unlike the combustion outboards, the electric 6 HP outboards keep the maintenance work to minimal.

Generally speaking, the major tasks you need to do is check (and replace if necessary) the anode, propellor, connectors, and cables and charge the motors during the long term of no use. Check the complete maintenance procedure in our  previous sharing .

#7. Warranty

Always remember to check the proximity of your nearest dealer since the dealer backup matters a lot if anything happens to your motor.

The warranty can also be a factor to consider if there is no clear winner on the other mentioned aspects between different models. The 6 HP outboard motors with 3 years extended warranty are surely more reliable than those with only a one- or two-year warranty.

The price is always an important consideration for any investment. The cost of 6 HP outboard motors varies greatly among the three different types introduced above, ranging roughly from $1500 to $3000 for high-end models.

If you are concerned about the initial investment, the combustion type 6 HP outboard can be a winner in this round. However, if you care about the price-performance ratio, the 6 HP electric outboard is a better choice that provides you with an unmatched premium boating experience.

Also, don’t forget the lifetime savings on the 6 HP outboard maintenance cost.

In addition, as the technology evolves (becoming more attainable and, therefore, more affordable), you can now find some affordable yet reliable brands to save your cost without compromising the boating experience.

It’s calculated that the 6 HP electric outboard motor Navy 3.0 will gradually become more “affordable” after three years of use compared with the 6 HP gas engine (based on normal use).

Best 6HP Outboard Motor

If you are in a hurry and want a quick recommendation on the best 6 HP outboard, check out the ePropulsion Navy 3.0 Evo before making the final decision.

As a 6 HP electric outboard motor, Navy 3.0 Evo is clean and quiet with no gas, no pull start, and no carburetor issues. You are free from the maintenance headache and the accumulating cost.

The performance of this 6 HP outboard motor is impressive with the  ePropulsion 4096 Wh E80 battery  (requires separate purchase). It can support a round trip from the Status of Liberty to the New York Aquarium. For the detailed performance test results, check the following table:

Thanks to its hydrogeneration function, it can go even further on a sailing boat.

Backed with 3 years extended warranty (upon registration) and a worldwide dealer network, you will be covered if there is any issue with your new ePropulsion 6 HP outboard motor.

More Features You Will Love:

Customer Reviews:

‘The Navy 3.0 has been a huge competitive advantage for my partner and I as we have fished tournaments. It gives us the capability to run faster than a large majority of the competition. Most run 4-5mph at best, we are running 7. This enables us to beat others to spots at start of competition and catch fish before others show up.’
