Outboard auxiliary engines are in great demand in medium and large vessels. They are useful, offer safety and comfort in navigation and in addition, in Marina Sacra you can have them with the best quality-price ratio and guarantees.
An auxiliary engine can have many functions and unlike what beginners believe, its use goes beyond the shortcomings of the main engine(s). That is, an outboard auxiliary engine is not used only when the main engine has some kind of breakdown or complication. In fact, this is its least common use.
Auxiliary engines for vessels of all sizes are used to: let the main engine rest, supply power to other equipment or areas of the vessel, perform the most difficult maneuvers, overcome times of high tide, storms…
In other words, they generally provide preventive assistance. They are not at all common in boats or small vessels, but they are common in those that can carry several passengers or make slightly longer trips.
In Marina Sacra we help you to choose the best outboard auxiliary engine
Choosing an auxiliary outboard motor is not much different from choosing a main outboard motor. You must take into account the same characteristics. Although it is true that in general the power may be somewhat lower, especially if you are going to have several outboard auxiliary engines.
These are the characteristics you should consider when selecting the right outboard motor:
- Shaft size: it can be long or short tail, for this you will have to measure the distance from the transom to the water surface.
- Brand: there are better known brands that can give you more security, such as Yamaha or Suzuki.
- Strokes: There are 4-stroke engines and 2-stroke engines. The former are more resistant and the latter offer more speed at start-up.
- Power and speed: choose according to the size of the boat, number of passengers, etcetera.
- Condition: even if you buy a second-hand motor, always make sure it is in good condition.
- Efficiency and savings: there are outboard motors that are more or less efficient and use more or less fuel.
These are all the characteristics you should take into account, which are the same as for the main outboard motor of the boat. Although it is true that if you are going to use it only a few times, you should not give so much importance to its efficiency or power: other aspects such as the size of the shaft are always crucial and cannot be overlooked.
Auxiliary Second hand outboard engines cheap
An outboard auxiliary engine must always be in top condition. And in Marina Sacra this is not incompatible with a second hand engine, because we always make sure to offer only reliable outboard engines with guarantees.
In other words, power, speed and efficiency remain priority features in used outboard engines, including auxiliary engines.
In fact, many prefer to opt for second-hand outboard auxiliary engines because, as their use is less common and more exclusive, they do not give as much importance to the use they have had or the kilometers traveled.
But the main point, as you can imagine, is the price. Used or second-hand outboard auxiliary engines are much lower in price. The reduction is quite considerable, yet the quality and warranties are very similar to those of a new one.
That is why it is such an attractive option chosen by many of our customers. You will be hard pressed to find better value for money in outboard outboards.
Therefore, if you are thinking of taking the step to gain security and buy an outboard dinghy, do not hesitate and buy one with the lowest price and the same guarantees. You can find it in many different brands. Some of them are Yamaha or Suzuki.
You will also have a wide variety available, so you can choose according to power, horsepower, design, axle size, years of operation, etcetera.
