Outboard Motors - 4 Stroke Petrol Engines & Electric Outboards
At Force 4 Chandlery we stock a wide range of outboard engines to suit dinghies, tenders and small boats. You can find both traditional 4-stroke petrol engines and new electric outboard motors. These options come from top trusted marine brands.
Choosing the Right Outboard Engine
Outboard engines are compact, versatile, and easy to install, making them the most popular choice for tenders and small craft. Key points to consider when choosing your outboard include:
- Power (HP rating) – from lightweight models for short trips, up to higher horsepower for longer runs or carrying more weight
- Fuel type – petrol for proven range and refuelling convenience, electric for quiet, low-maintenance performance
- Portability – smaller engines are easy to carry and remove for storage or security
- Compatibility – ensure your outboard is suited to your dinghy, inflatable, or day boat
Petrol or Electric Outboard?
Petrol outboards remain the go-to choice for many boaters, offering reliable performance, long range and straightforward refuelling.
Electric outboards are gaining popularity, with whisper-quiet operation, zero emissions on the water and low maintenance needs. They’re ideal for harbours, inland waterways, and eco-conscious sailors.
Explore our full ranges of petrol outboards and electric outboards to see which suits your needs best.
Our range includes top names such as Mariner, ePropulsion, Torqeedo, and Temo, so you can be confident in quality and service.
Pair your engine with one of our inflatable dinghies.
