Outboard motors
2 HP Outboard Motors
2 horsepower suits inflatable tenders and very small dinghies. Expect 9 to 12 kg, 20 to 26 lb dry, which is the figure that decides whether one person can lift it on and off a transom.

Buying a 2hp outboard
At this size you normally find short shaft, manual start, tiller, with integral tank only, around a liter.
We do not hold one at this size on the floor, but the engines below can be sourced and delivered in seven to fourteen days.
Buying used at this size, these are simple engines, so the impeller and the fuel tap are the usual faults.
Listed prices on this page run from $395 to $1,950. Freight, controls and a propeller are quoted separately.
Common questions
What size boat does a 2hp outboard suit?
It suits inflatable tenders and very small dinghies. Always check the capacity plate at your transom first, since that gives the maximum the hull is rated for and it is illegal as well as unwise to exceed it.
How much does a 2hp outboard weigh?
Typically 9 to 12 kg, 20 to 26 lb. That figure matters more than most buyers expect: it decides whether you can lift the engine alone, and whether your transom bracket is rated for it.
Which shaft length do I need?
Measure vertically from the top of the transom to the lowest point of the hull. Fifteen inches takes a short shaft, twenty inches a long shaft, twenty five inches an extra long. Fitted right, the anti ventilation plate finishes level with the hull bottom. Send us a photograph with a tape measure in frame if you are unsure.
Does the price include controls and a propeller?
Remote steering engines are supplied without a control box or cables unless you add them, and engines from 40hp up ship without a propeller so it can be pitched to your hull. Both can go in the same crate, so there is no second freight charge.
