Boat Motors Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 4 HP outboard best used for?

A 4 HP outboard is ideal for inflatable tenders, small aluminum Jon boats, canoes, and as a backup motor on sailboats and larger vessels. It provides adequate speed for slow cruising and light fishing applications on calm water.

How much does a 4 HP outboard motor weigh?

Most modern 4 HP 4-stroke outboards weigh between 40 and 55 lbs (18-25 kg). This makes them easy to carry by hand and mount without assistance.

Can a 4 HP motor run on regular unleaded gasoline?

Yes. All current 4 HP 4-stroke outboards run on regular 87 octane unleaded gasoline. No premix oil is required; simply add gasoline and go, unlike older 2-stroke motors.

Is a 4 HP outboard good for a 10-foot inflatable boat?

Yes. A 4 HP motor is an excellent match for a 10-foot inflatable RIB or Zodiac-style tender with 1-2 occupants. It will push the boat at 7-10 mph, which is more than adequate for getting to shore or exploring a harbor.
