As outboards evolve with each passing year, so too has the know-how of mechanics that service these increasingly powerful behemoths.
Hydrogen fuel cells are now powering boats, but they still have a long way to go.
With normal maintenance and regular TLC, a genset can thrive for a long, long time. Here’s how to get the full life expectancy from yours.
When it comes to your boat’s engines don’t believe everything you hear. In the interest of keeping our readers informed, we debunk the five particularly egregious engine misconceptions making their way through the boating community.
Supercharged 4.6-Liter V8 has best power-to-weight ratio in industry. We tested Mercury’s new 450-hp 450R outboards on 10 boats including the Cigarette Tirranna, Midnight Express 43 Open, Sea Ray SLX-R 350, and Formula 430 SSC. Read our full review here.
When was the last time you gave your turbo some TLC? If you took more than a few seconds to answer that question, maybe the time is now to show it some love. Learn what you need to do here.
Swapping out old outboards isn’t as simple as you may think, but it’s worth the effort and expense to upgrade to high-tech motors.

The best skippers are careful listeners and very in tune with the sounds produced by their engines.
