Cheap Outboard Motors – Budget-Friendly, Tested, Worldwide Delivery
Cheap Outboard Motors – Real Value Without the Runaround
Searching for cheap outboard motors that are genuinely worth buying is harder than it should be. The market is full of overpriced dealers and mystery listings with no real detail. At S.H Continental Marine, we carry cheap outboard motors across the full range — value brand new motors, quality used motors, and refurbished units — all with honest specs, documented condition, and a warranty behind them. We ship to customers around the world.
What We Mean by Cheap Outboard Motors
Cheap outboard motors at S.H Continental Marine means motors priced well below new dealer retail — either because they’re used, because they’re from a value brand, or because we sourced them efficiently. It does not mean unknown condition, missing documentation, or no warranty. Budget price should not mean you’re flying blind on what you’re buying.
Types of Cheap Outboard Motors We Carry
Budget New Outboard Motors – Parsun and Tohatsu
Parsun makes new outboard motors built for the value market. The Parsun T5 BMS (5hp, 1-cylinder 2-stroke, 102cc, 15″ shaft, 18.5kg, manual start) and Parsun F20 (20hp, 2-cylinder 4-stroke, 362cc, 20″ shaft, 52kg) are among the cheapest new outboard motors available. They carry a manufacturer warranty and are used commercially across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Tohatsu’s MFS range offers similar pricing on small 4-strokes with better global parts support.
Cheap Used Outboard Motors
Used cheap outboard motors from Yamaha, Suzuki, Mercury, and Honda are some of the best value purchases in the marine market. A used Yamaha F40 (40hp, 3-cylinder 4-stroke, 747cc, electric start, 20″ shaft, ~90kg) at 300–500 hours of documented use will cost a fraction of a new motor and still have years of reliable service ahead. When we list cheap used outboard motors, we confirm compression, starting condition, and gear oil condition before listing.

Cheap Outboard Motors by HP Class – Specs
2.5–10HP – Entry Level
Cheap outboard motors in this class are the most accessible. Parsun T5 (5hp), Tohatsu MFS3.5 (3.5hp, 4-stroke, 72cc, 13kg), and used Yamaha F6 (6hp, single cylinder 4-stroke, 123cc, 26kg) cover tenders, inflatables, and small fishing boats. Key specs: dry weight under 30kg, short shaft (15″), 1–2L built-in tank, manual start. These cheap outboard motors do the job without needing to be complicated.
15–25HP – Most Popular Budget Class
This is the sweet spot for cheap outboard motors on 14–16ft fishing boats. A used Yamaha F20 (20hp, 3-cylinder 4-stroke, 362cc, 57kg, 20″ shaft, electric start) or Parsun F20 new in the same spec covers most small boat needs without spending serious money. Cheap outboard motors in this class balance performance and fuel economy well for freshwater fishing and light coastal use.
40–60HP – Mid-Range Budget
Used Yamaha F40 and Suzuki DF40A (40hp, 3-cylinder, 747cc, lean burn EFI, 93kg, 20″ shaft) are the most common cheap outboard motors in this class. Strong performers on mid-size aluminum and light fiberglass boats. A well-serviced used 40hp from either brand is one of the most cost-effective marine purchases you can make. Cheap outboard motors at this HP often come from boats upgraded to bigger power — meaning the engine itself was running fine when removed.
75–115HP – Budget Performance
Used Suzuki DF90 (90hp, inline-4 DOHC, 1,502cc, EFI, 20″ shaft, ~157kg) or Mercury 90hp FourStroke are the strongest options for cheap outboard motors that deliver real performance. Buying used in this class requires more diligence — get compression test results, check gear oil, and confirm hours. A well-documented motor in this class at fair mileage is worth every dollar of the purchase price when properly vetted.
What Makes Cheap Outboard Motors Trustworthy
At S.H Continental Marine, cheap outboard motors we sell go through a condition check before listing. We confirm: cold start operation, compression readings across cylinders, gear oil condition, visible corrosion assessment on lower unit and brackets, and shifting into forward and reverse. Motors that don’t meet a serviceable standard don’t get listed without disclosure. You know what you’re buying before you pay.
