Frequently Asked Questions

Used Outboard Motors

Which brands of used outboard motors do you stock?

Our used outboard stock changes regularly, but we typically carry motors from leading brands including Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, and Suzuki. These are among the most trusted names in marine engines, known for their durability, availability of parts, and long service lives. As stock varies, we recommend checking this page regularly or getting in touch with our team to ask about specific brands or horsepower ratings you're looking for.

Are used outboard motors reliable?

Yes, a well-maintained outboard from a reputable brand can deliver many years of dependable service. All of the used outboards we sell are tested by our experienced team before being listed for sale, so we can give you an honest assessment of the engine's condition. We're transparent about what each motor has had done and what it hasn't, so you can make an informed decision rather than taking a gamble.

What horsepower options are available?

Our used outboard stock covers a wide range of power outputs, from small 2–3HP engines ideal for tenders and inflatables, through to larger motors suited to RIBs and fishing boats. Because stock turns over frequently, availability varies, if you have a specific horsepower requirement, contact our team and we'll let you know what we currently have or expect to have coming in.

How do I choose the right used outboard for my boat?

The key factors to consider are the size and weight of your boat, the transom height, and how you intend to use it. A small inflatable or tender typically needs only 2–6HP, while a larger RIB or fishing boat may require 20HP or more. You'll also need to match the shaft length to your transom, standard, long, and extra-long shafts are all common. If you're unsure, our team is happy to advise. Give us a call on 01394 451 000 or drop us an email and we'll help you find a motor that's the right fit.

Are used outboards serviced before sale?

Our used outboards are sold on a brokerage basis. Each engine is tested by our team, but they are not fully serviced prior to sale and are sold without warranty. We're upfront about the condition and history of each motor in the product listing, so you know exactly what you're buying. If you'd like a service carried out before or after purchase, our workshop team can help, just get in touch to discuss your requirements.

What is your returns policy on used outboards?

Because used outboards are sold as tested but unserviced brokerage items, we encourage all buyers to review the product description carefully before purchasing. If you have any questions about a specific engine's condition before you buy, please contact us, we'd rather answer your questions upfront than have any surprises after the sale. For full details on our returns policy, please refer to our terms and conditions or speak to a member of our team.
