When was the last time you thought about your outboard? Was it while you were shopping for your boat? Or was it last summer when it almost quit on you in the middle of the lake?
Updating the power on your current boat – or “repowering” – is a smart investment that can economically level up your on-water experience. It also offers other practical benefits, such as warranties, improved fuel economy and new features.
Updating the power on your current boat – or “repowering” – is a smart investment that can economically level up your on-water experience. It also offers other practical benefits, such as warranties, improved fuel economy and new features.
Warranty Assurance
The top reason for repowering your boat is the peace of mind that comes with a manufacturer's warranty. In the event of an issue covered by this warranty, you can simply bring the new outboard back to the dealer and not be out of pocket.
Improved Fuel Economy
A small tweak here, a bit of optimization there and you could really quickly see the difference! A lot can change in just a few years, which has certainly been the case for outboard fuel economy. Then your only issue will be deciding whether to save money on the fuel or spend more time on the water.
Noise Reduction
Newer outboard engines are engineered with noise reduction in mind, incorporating innovative sound-dampening technologies, quieter exhaust systems and improved engine designs to minimize noise. Not only does this help add to a more enjoyable boating experience but also helps preserve the national beauty of the water.
Residual Value of Your Old Engine
When considering the cost of repowering your boat, don’t forget your old engine still has value. While it may not meet your current needs, it could be an attractive option for someone else. This could help offset the expense of your new outboard and make the decision to repower even more financially appealing.
You Don’t Have to Replace the Boat!
Buying a completely new boat package can be a substantial financial commitment. Repowering your boat, you no longer have to face the price tag of a new boat. You can get the benefits of improved performance, fuel efficiency and warranty coverage without investing in an entirely new vessel. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a "new-to-you" boat at a portion of the price tag.
Repowering your existing boat is a very practical choice. After all, no one knows your boat better than you and this is a way to further tailor your boating experience to what you want and need.
