40-60hp
Held to a Higher Standard.
There are plenty of good reasons these outboards rule the water. Start with no-worry reliability. More low-end torque for excellent acceleration. Increased fuel economy and outstanding overall performance. Enhanced fuel injection (EFI models) for boosted efficiency. A robust electrical system with a high-output alternator to keep batteries charged and fishing electronics humming. They have everything you need, and nothing you don't.
