Small air-cooled outboard motors, designed for small fishing boats, feature the following key advantages:
It eliminates the need for a water cooling system, resulting in a more compact body and lighter weight. This makes transportation and installation on small fishing boats convenient—fishermen can handle the operation alone, perfectly matching the power needs of small vessels.
There is no risk of the cooling system being clogged by aquatic plants or sediment. The motor can operate stably in waters with turbid water or abundant aquatic plants, such as shoals, inland rivers, and swamps, making it suitable for fishing operations of small boats in inshore or inland waters.
The air-cooled design reduces maintenance issues related to pipelines and enables rapid start response. This is particularly convenient in fishing scenarios that require emergency departure or frequent start-stop operations. Additionally, the daily maintenance cost is low, making it ideal for fishermen working in environments lacking professional maintenance conditions.
It usually has moderate power, which can meet the power demands of small fishing boats in scenarios like short-distance navigation and net-casting fishing. Meanwhile, the fuel consumption is relatively controllable, conforming to the economic requirements of small fishing boats.
It has no special requirements for water temperature or water quality. Even in cold regions, it is less likely to be affected by the freezing of the water cooling system (a problem that plagues water-cooled motors), making it suitable for fishing operations under different climatic conditions.
