Here’s a question from a visitor to the site:
“How does one determine how many hours an outboard motor has ran…does it have a gauge similar to the odometer on a car, or do you just have to take the owner’s word?”

Due to a large number of requests for different outboard motor parts, I created a special search page for those of you looking for parts for outboards.
For all your Mercury, Johnson, Evinrude, Honda parts and more please visit:
Outboard Motor Parts Search Page
Just enter the manufacturer and part type in the search box where it says “outboard parts” and hit search.
Here’s a clip of a 50 year old+ Evinrude outboard motor, the Fleetwin, 7.5 hp running in a test tank.
Here’s a video clip of 4 300 horse Mercury Verado outboards on a Ring Powercraft. These Swedish RIB-boats are custom made. Not something for everyone obviously…
300 hp Verados are currently going for about $9,000 on eBay.
