Components:
- Engine: The engine is the core of the outboard motor, and it can be either two-stroke or four-stroke. Two-stroke engines typically have a simpler design but may produce more emissions, while four-stroke engines are known for their fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions.
- Gearbox: The gearbox contains the transmission system, which allows the boat to move forward, reverse, or stay in neutral.
- Propeller: The propeller is attached to the driveshaft and is responsible for generating thrust by pushing water backward.
