Boat Motor Information

hey, i am sitting in school right now. I usually read articles on car engines just because i find it interesting, and because i like to repair them sometimes with small problems. But today i wanted to do something different, i wanted to learn how outboard motors on boats work. I want information about how the steering system, ignition, cooling, fuel lines, and everything work. and possibly a few diagrams here and their. also, i would like to learn how to repair small engine problems. can someone help me find informational sites? just like learning for fun? thank you, greatly appreciate it.

Hi ....we have jus bought a boat and due to never owning one would like to know if anyone could tell me the fuel ratios for a chrysler boat motor model: 454HG serial no: 3197.....and or any information about the motor.....r they reliable to run....how efficient are they when maintained properly....how often should they be serviced and do you need to pre-checks ....if so wat???.....yes im a lady taking on a pretty big challenge and would appriciate all and any answers ....thx .....

Chrysler hasn"t produced a outboard for quite some time so I would guess that your motor was a 45 hp produced in the 70's or possibly in the 80's. 50/1 should be the proper ratio. be sure to use a 2 stroke oil with a TCW rating. you didn't let on when the last time the engine was run. but be on the safe side throw a set of new sparkplugs and fuel filter on it.wouldn't hurt to change the lube in the lower unit too..when replacing lube in the the lower unit look at the condition of the prop. check for nicks or cracks and bent blades. as these will greatly effect the performance of the motor. check the skeg (lower portion of motor below the prop) for bends or chunks missing. check seal around prop shaft for oil leaks.

If your motor is an old green or dark red&white Elgin made by West Bend for Sears, from 1946 to the early 1960's, the following links will give you the info you want.
