Outboard Motor for Recreation

Choosing the right outboard motor for fishing depends on several factors, including the type of water you will enter, the size of the boat and your specific needs

Hidea

HIDEA HDF8

For 2.5-3.3m small inflatable boats used in sightseeing, water roaming, short-distance travel, etc., an 8-horsepower outboard is ideal for slow cruising in windless environments like inland rivers and lakes. It features low fuel consumption and simple operation, making it perfect for beginners or families with children.

HIDEA HDEF40

For 3.6-5.3m medium-sized boats engaged in moderate activities such as lake barbecue cruises, family gatherings, or offshore snorkeling shuttling, a 40-horsepower engine enables the boat to travel at 20-25 knots in coastal waters or large lakes. With sufficient power and good fuel economy, it suits long-distance cruising.

HIDEA HDEF115

For 5.3m recreational yachts used in island-hopping, multi-day cruises, holiday leisure parties, etc., an 115-horsepower engine is suitable for coastal navigation. It maintains stable power when carrying generators, refrigerators, and other equipment, and offers excellent maneuverability in 3rd-grade wind waves (wave height 1-2m), making it ideal for long-distance leisure travel.

POWER, FUEL AND DRIVE

Power:
Outboard motor power is usually expressed in horsepower. Choose a power that is sufficient to move your boat comfortably and efficiently, even under different conditions such as current, wind and load.

Fuel:
Outboard motors can run on a variety of fuels, such as gasoline or electricity. Gasoline powered engines are generally more powerful, but electric engines are quieter, more environmentally friendly and require less maintenance.

Drive:
Outboards come in a variety of drive types, including short-tail, long-tail and ultra-sport tail. The type of drive depends on the depth of the water in which you will be fishing. Short tail motors are suitable for shallow waters, while long tail motors are better for deeper waters.
