Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Hi, I'm just wondering what the life cycle of a typical outboard motor is for most muskie hunters ( in Hrs. used)
I have heard that 1,000-1,500 hrs. on a 200-250hp outboard(two stroke) is like putting on 100,000 miles on a car.
I was talking to a guide a while back and he said that he got about 7,000 hrs. out of his last motor(4-stroke? I think) in two and a half yrs.!!
Thats a heck of allot of hrs. I thought I was out on the water allot with 260 hrs. on a 2yr. old motor.
I don't troll much.
So, what do you guys think ? and how many hrs have you put on an outboard motor ?
