Engine & Fuel

Our Engine & Fuel range covers everything for a boat’s engine and fuel system: engine oils, fuel tanks and jerry cans, fuel line and fittings, outboard accessories, steering and controls, and outboard engines themselves.

This category covers both routine maintenance and bigger fitting-out decisions. For maintenance, Engine Oil & Lubricants and Fuel Line & Fittings cover the consumables and wear parts most engines need on a regular schedule – matching oil type to your engine (2-stroke vs 4-stroke) and replacing fuel line before it fails, not after, are the two most common maintenance gaps we see. For fuel storage and handling, Fuel Tanks & Jerry Cans covers safe, compliant options for both permanent and spare fuel.

Outboard Accessories covers spares, propellers and add-ons specific to outboard engines, while Steering & Controls covers the helm, cables and steering systems that connect your controls to the engine – often overlooked until something feels stiff or unresponsive, which is usually a sign cables need attention or fluid needs topping up. Browse the subcategories below for the full range in each area.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the most commonly overlooked engine maintenance item?

Fuel line – it perishes from the inside and is often replaced only after a failure, rather than on a preventive schedule.

My steering feels stiff – what should I check?

Steering cables and, for hydraulic systems, fluid level are the first things to check – stiffness usually signals cables need attention or fluid needs topping up rather than a major fault.

Do I need different accessories for different outboard brands?

Often yes – propellers, fittings and some spares are brand and model specific, so check compatibility with your exact outboard before buying.
