Boat Engine Basics ~ Cooling

Last, but certainly not least, the cooling system of a boat engine is necessary for proper operation. However, where most other parts or functions of a boat engine are similar to that of an automobile engine, the cooling system is actually quite different. For a boat engine, raw water is pumped directly from the ocean, river or lake in which the boat is currently resting.

This water is then channeled through the engine block’s water jacket and is then circulated by the water pump where the water then flows into the risers. These specialty devices mix the boat exhaust with the water and the exhaust then forces the hot water back into the lake. And there you have it, in five days we have covered the basic parts of any boat engine so that, hopefully, you know a little more about its inner workings.

Keep your boat engine happy, clean and powerful with Evinrude XD 50 oil.

Boat Engine Basics ~ The Ignition Part 2

Yesterday we began to discuss the basic parts of a boat engine, starting with the ignition system, in an effort to educate boat owners on the basic functions of their boat. Don’t forget that understanding the primary design and purpose of the essential parts of your boat will only help keep you out of the repair shop if something is to go wrong with the operating system of the boat.

The overview of the ignition system ended yesterday with the power stroke being called into action by a spark igniting the fuel in the cylinder. The entire process that was outlined yesterday is timed by the rotation of the cam shaft raising and lowering the intake valves. Then, turned in perfect time with the intakes valves and , the belt from the cam shaft turns the device inside the distributor. In conclusion, if any parts of the engine fail, the boat engine will run poorly or not at all.

However, you can ensure a smoother running engine with Evinrude XD 50 oil.

Boat Engine Basics ~ The Ignition

Doesn’t it make sense to say that you would save yourself plenty of time and money if you knew the basic mechanics of the design and function of your car? Well, the same can be said for your boat. Learning the how your boat engine operates can save you from having to frequent the repair shop if problems are to arise. Therefore, this week our focus will be to better understand the basic parts of a boat engine.

Let’s take a look at the boat’s ignition. The main purpose of the ignition system is to ignite the fuel because when fuel burns power is created. Now, starting at the beginning of this process, when you turn the key to power up the boat engine, electricity will flow from the battery through a voltage regulator and into the coil. Energy is store in the coil until it reaches 100,000 volts. Then, at the right moment, during the compression stroke in a certain cylinder, the coil releases the high voltage through the plugs wires to the spark plug. The spark then ignites the fuel in the cylinder and drives the piston down for a power stroke.

Check back tomorrow for Part 2 of the Ignition series and learn why Evinrude XD 100 oil is friendly to boat engines.

Spotlight on Best Boats for Freshwater Fishing ~ Part 5

Boats that deliver a midway point between luxury and sport include the inboard cruisers, which feature a sleeping cabin and plenty of deck space. These vessels are typically 30-plus feet in length and are ideal for weekend voyages, fishing expeditions and fun in the sun with friends or family.

Another great vessel for entertaining, pontoon boats provide ample space for multiple passengers and a stable and spacious platform for fishing. But if speed is all you’re after, I would invest in a jet boat, which is praised for its top speed and maneuverability. These boats are ideal for all water sports including recreational fishing. And, bringing up the opposite end of the spectrum, Jon boats are all about fishing as they lack the fancy extras and high power of models like the jet boat. Jon boats are simple and inexpensive and they feature a flat-bottom design with 1 to 3 bench seats.

All boats enjoy the rich power and luxury conditioning provided by Evinrude XD 50 oil.

This marine model can comfortably hold between six and ten people, which makes it a very popular style for people who like to travel in large groups. Another boat that satisfies the need for ample deck space is the center console boat. This vessel is designed so that all of the boat controls are located in the very center of the boat to grant extra deck space for fishing and other activities.

Deck boats, hence the name, are another vessel that provide generous deck space to hold multiple people, fishermen or water-sport accessories. Dually matched with a powerful engine, these boats are great for water sports and recreational fishing.

Boats of such magnitude call for Evinrude XD 50 oil!
