Although not all things boat owners all share a love for water and the fear of something happening, I agree to turn off the water. Smart owners learn the basic operation of the motor boat, gain an understanding for the maintenance and develop an eye for looking at small problems before they become big problems.
There is only one type of marine engines. Depending on your preference, you can choose an inboard, an outboard motor or stern(Internal / external). All types of marine engines have three main parts: the engine, propeller and propulsion system. As expected, each engine type has its advantages and disadvantages. An inboard engine moves to the center of the boat and helps to maintain balance. The disadvantage is that devours the inside. An outboard engine is lighter, and can sometimes be portable, but its weight is sufficient that sometimes make the boat trip deep into the water at the stern. Losses cantend to appear where you fit an outboard motor to the boat.
The Z-drive, it also has advantages and disadvantages. The inner layer of the engine makes better balance, but the rest of the engine is on the outside of the boat, the less space is needed. Sterndrive engines are more complicated than the internal or external and can therefore even more problematic. In addition, there is the problem of many parts, such as pipes and oil lines so that the waterdifficult to control and repair. Underwater, but are also prone to corrosion.
In the end it is up to individual boat owners, the pros and cons before buying weight. A reliable marine dealer to assist in the location, but it is always worthwhile to do some 'research and have a plan before you buy a head boat. A bit 'of knowledge can help prevent an informed decision and that the purchase has cheated more than your boat's engine.
