Dinghy outboard motors – Doing your own maintenance! (Part 1)

If you’re laying up for the winter - or making a long stopover in port - this is the time to deal with engine maintenance. Beware, an 8 HP 4-stroke outboard (or this rustic 18 HP 2-stroke) can already weigh getting on for 90 lbs (40 kg), so it might be useful to have an extra pair of hands. Basic maintenance should take between one and two hours... And with a little courage, let’s get on with it!

Downloading the genuine user manual is a good idea. Most maintenance guides can be easily found on the internet.
