Outboard Accessories

Our Outboard Accessories range covers spares, propellers and add-ons specific to outboard engines – the parts and accessories that keep an outboard running well or let you fine-tune performance for your boat and typical use.

Propellers are the most consequential choice in this range: the right pitch and diameter for your boat, engine and typical load affects everything from top speed to fuel economy to how hard the engine works at cruising RPM, and the factory-fitted prop isn’t always optimal for how you actually use the boat. A lower-pitch prop gives better acceleration and load-carrying at the cost of top speed; a higher-pitch prop gives more top speed but can overload the engine if it’s too aggressive for your boat’s weight. Beyond propellers, this range covers general spares and accessories – fittings, guards and add-ons specific to outboard engines – and compatibility is brand and often model-specific, so check your exact outboard make and model before buying rather than assuming a generic fit.

Keep basic spares (prop, pins, fuses relevant to your engine) aboard if you’re boating any distance from a chandlery.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right propeller pitch?

Match it to your boat’s typical load and how you use it – lower pitch favours acceleration and load-carrying, higher pitch favours top speed, but too aggressive a pitch can overload the engine.

Are outboard accessories universal, or brand-specific?

Mostly brand and often model-specific – check your exact outboard make and model before buying rather than assuming a generic fit.

What spares should I keep aboard for my outboard?

A spare propeller, shear pins and any fuses specific to your engine are worth carrying if you’re boating any distance from a chandlery.
