Gasoline Outboard Motor
Item Name Code (INC) 13576
 |
A hand-carried self-contained power unit designed for temporary mounting upon light watercraft. It consists of a light, gasoline engine driving a vertical drive shaft, rigidly attached to the engine. The vertical shaft drives a propeller shaft perpendicular thereto. The entire unit, may be rotated to varying positions for steering the craft on which it is mounted, and may be hand tilted to provide for shallow draft. It does not include PROPELLING UNIT, OUTBOARD.
Additional Information for Gasoline Outboard Motor
Gasoline outboard motors are a type of engine used in boats and other watercraft. They are part of the supply class of gasoline reciprocating engines, except aircraft, and fall under the supply group of engines, turbines, and components.
Gasoline outboard motors are specifically designed to be mounted on the stern or transom of a boat. They are typically used for propulsion and steering, providing the necessary power to move the boat through the water. These motors are fueled by gasoline and use a reciprocating engine mechanism to convert the energy from the fuel into mechanical power.
Gasoline outboard motors are commonly used in recreational boating, fishing, and other water-based activities. They are known for their portability, ease of use, and relatively low cost compared to other types of marine engines. These motors are available in various sizes and power outputs to suit different types of boats and water conditions.
Components of a gasoline outboard motor may include the engine block, cylinder head, pistons, crankshaft, fuel system, ignition system, cooling system, and exhaust system. These components work together to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the motor.
Overall, gasoline outboard motors are an essential component of many watercraft, providing the necessary power for propulsion and maneuverability on the water.
