If you are searching for a used outboard motor, verify its age, condition, service history, and fit for your boat before buying. The listings below describe outboard motors but do not specify that they are used, so treat them as options to compare—not confirmed secondhand engines. The 6.5HP model is best suited to buyers seeking a compact four-stroke, while the 18HP and 30HP models offer higher stated horsepower. A flushing bag is included as a maintenance accessory, not as an engine.
| Product | Best suited for | Stated type or feature |
|---|---|---|
| 6.5HP outboard | Small-boat shoppers comparing lower horsepower | Four-stroke; water cooling; reverse gear |
| Nursia 20HP | Buyers comparing a midrange four-stroke | Manual start; tiller; kill-switch lanyard |
| 18HP outboard | Buyers seeking more stated power | Two-stroke; CDI ignition; water cooling |
| Nursia 30HP | Buyers comparing a higher-power engine | Two-stroke; manual tiller steering |
| Flushing bag | Outboard owners handling land-based flushing | Fits listed 0–360HP range |
6.5HP Four-Stroke Outboard Motor
Best for: Buyers comparing a compact, lower-horsepower engine for an inflatable boat, kayak, canoe, or fishing boat. Its listed features include a 123cc four-stroke engine, water cooling, CDI ignition, manual steering and tilt, and reverse gear. The description also states a load capacity of 661–1,653 pounds and a transom clamp limit of 1.57 inches.
Choose this model if those specifications suit your boat and you want the listed reverse function. Its description says it ships in two packages, which may affect delivery coordination. The listing does not establish that the engine is used; ask the seller about condition and included items before treating it as a secondhand option.
Nursia 20HP Four-Stroke Outboard
Best for: Buyers comparing a 20-horsepower four-stroke with simple tiller controls. Listed features include manual starting, an integrated tiller handle, a safety kill-switch lanyard, and a three-blade propeller. It offers a middle ground in stated horsepower between the 6.5HP and 30HP listings.
Choose this if manual starting and tiller control match your needs. The supplied details do not state displacement, shaft length, or whether the motor is used. Confirm those specifications and the actual engine condition before purchase; the listing description alone cannot establish suitability for a particular boat.
18HP Two-Stroke Outboard Motor
Best for: Shoppers comparing a higher-output engine with listed water cooling and CDI ignition. The description specifies a 246cc, 18HP two-stroke engine, a maximum speed of 5,500 rpm, a short shaft, and a three-blade propeller. It also mentions an overheating-protection function and tilt adjustment pin.
Choose this if the stated horsepower and short-shaft configuration match your boat’s requirements. The listing does not provide a used-condition history, and buyers should confirm shaft measurements and maintenance details directly. Its stated noise figure is around 80 decibels, so noise-sensitive buyers may want to compare operating sound expectations.
Nursia 30HP Two-Stroke Outboard
Best for: Buyers comparing the highest stated horsepower among the listed engines. This 30HP two-stroke has manual tiller steering, a comfortable grip handle, and marine-grade components with a corrosion-resistant finish. The product description says it is designed for marine propulsion and saltwater conditions.
Choose this if your boat is rated for the motor and you want tiller-operated control. Higher horsepower is not automatically a better fit: check the boat manufacturer’s maximum horsepower and transom requirements. The listing does not confirm secondhand condition, service records, shaft length, or the engine’s operating history.
Outboard Motor Flushing Bag
Best for: Outboard owners who need a land-based flushing accessory rather than another engine. The listed PVC bag measures 28 by 31 inches and is described as fitting outboards and sterndrives from 0 to 360HP. Features include a drain valve, reinforced webbing, side fixation rings, and a self-supporting design.
Use the stated dimensions to check fit before purchase. The manufacturer’s instructions say the ground—not the straps—must support the water’s weight, and the webbing should secure the bag to a fixed anchor. This accessory does not replace an engine inspection or establish that a used motor is in good condition.
Buying Guide: How to Choose a Used Outboard Motor
What should you check before buying secondhand?
Ask for the motor’s model year, maintenance records, hours if known, reason for sale, and a clear account of any repairs or storage issues. Request a cold-start demonstration and an in-water test when practical. Inspect the propeller, lower unit, controls, fuel lines, mounting hardware, and visible corrosion. These checks can reveal concerns, but a qualified marine mechanic can provide a more complete evaluation.
How much horsepower and what shaft length do you need?
Use the boat manufacturer’s capacity plate or documentation to confirm maximum horsepower and the required shaft length. Do not choose an engine solely because it has more power. The listed 6.5HP, 18HP, 20HP, and 30HP models vary substantially, and the available descriptions do not provide every measurement needed to confirm fit.
Should you choose a two-stroke or four-stroke?
The supplied listings identify the 6.5HP and 20HP models as four-strokes, and the 18HP and 30HP models as two-strokes. Compare the exact engine’s fuel and maintenance requirements, operating condition, and manufacturer guidance. Do not assume that engine type alone determines reliability or suitability.
What details are missing from these listings?
None of the motor descriptions confirms that the product is used. They also do not consistently state model year, operating hours, shaft measurements, service records, or a complete list of included parts. Confirm those details before purchasing a secondhand engine.
