Repower

Repowering is exactly what it sounds like: getting a new and better power source behind your boat. Whether that is by rebuilding your engine or installing a new one, this cost-efficient option is a great alternative to purchasing a new boat or continuing expensive maintenance on an aging engine. There are many reasons that people choose to repower their boat. Buying a new boat may not be in your budget at the moment or you may simply want a better, more powerful or fuel efficient engine.

Mercury Outboards

"Repowering helps boaters keep boating affordable, using the boats they love with confidence," said Mercury Powertrain Category Director Mike Horak.

But saving money and extending their boat's usable lifespan aren't the only reasons more owners are investing in new outboard engines today. Twenty-first century engineering and manufacturing technology advances have made outboards faster, easier to handle, more durable, more reliable, lighter, lower-profile, quieter, and more fuel-efficient.

Should you care? Well, that depends on how you use your boat. If you fish competitively, a repower engine can get your boat to the fishing grounds faster than the other guys. If your favorite fishing hotspots are offshore, better fuel efficiency can give you range to get there. Lower-profile outboard engines also make it easier to reel in a catch from the back of the boat.

The new generation of outboard engines - particularly the four-strokes ─ not only are more compact, they also are a lot lighter, giving them a lower power-to-weight ratio, which improves their performance throughout the rpm range. Repowering can give your boat an awesome hole shot, quicker acceleration, higher top end, or possibly all three. If you have an older pontoon boat, a new outboard also might help it get up on plane faster.
