Why There Are No 10 HP Outboard Motors
Why are there no 10 hp outboard motors? There are no 10 horsepower small outboards because of some specific state laws and rules. If you want a little 10 hp outboard boat motor the closest options are buying a 9.9 hp outboard motor or a 9.8 hp outboard engine. There are reasons why you can not buy a new small 10 hp outboard engine for your boat and those reasons are quite odd and unusual. A 10 horsepower boat motor hasn't been made for many decades! In this video I discuss how we often hear about ten horsepower outboard motors but in reality, they don't actually exist. We are forced to buy a 9.9 Mercury outboard motor, or a 9.9 Suzuki outboard engine but none of the brands offer a 10 hp version. Yamaha, Tohatsu, Honda, Suzuki, Mercury and even back when Johnson and Evinrude were still outboard brands - you couldn't get a 10 hp version of their outboard motors.
