Outboard Marine

Outboard motors New Zealand

The invention of outboard motors changed the game when it came to marine products. Boating used to be confined to sails and oars, so it was pretty hard yakka to get out on the water. Now, we get to enjoy long and relaxing days at sea, fishing, relaxing and getting amongst the elements.

The history of outboards puts into context how important they are in terms of your boating experience. If something went wrong with your outboard, you’d be stuck having to rely on your arms or the wind to get back to shore. You need to stay on top of your outboard maintenance.

One of the most popular boat brands in New Zealand is Evinrude. Unfortunately, the logical step for the Evinrude team in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was to close down and stop sales, so their products will shortly run out of supply. However, their warranties remain valid, and there are still plenty of parts available to take care of all necessary servicing on Evinrude products.

We work with a lot of Evinrude motors here at Welch Marine, so come to us for any maintenance and marine repair work you require on your outboard.

How do outboard motors work?

Outboards power the propellers at your boat’s stern, giving it the juice to move. Steering gets done simply by tilting the casing of the motor. Being able to lift the outboard engine out of the water creates a significant number of benefits that enhance your experience owning a boat.

Easy to replace

You might not always want the same make and model of your outboard motor. If you want to enhance your boat’s performance and upgrade to a top-quality mercury outboard marine motor, that’s a pretty simple process. Our team at Welch Marine would be happy to lend a hand in its installation.
