The Benefits of a Cobalt Outboard Engine

How a boater powers their boat (outboard vs. inboard motors) can be a sensitive subject—everyone has an opinion. Fortunately, Cobalt offers outstanding selections for BOTH, so there is something for you no matter where you stand on the engine debate. A Cobalt boat with an outboard Yamaha engine is something Cobalt customers and fans are seeing more of. Cobalt promises the same uncompromising performance, thoughtful innovation, head-turning style and unparalleled craftsmanship that Cobalt boats are known for in their outboard engines.

What are the benefits of an outboard engine? The newer outboard motors are extremely powerful with better fuel economy, faster performance and more efficient power. Outboard motors are more accessible and require less maintenance than inboards. Winterizing an outboard motor is simple, fast and easier.

Here are some of the best things about outboards:

• More space & storage
• Lower maintenance
• More accessible
• Better draft
• Better suited for salt water
• Better fuel economy

Cobalt’s Outboard Class is comprised of six models, including the 23SC, 25SC, 30SC and three NEW R Series models (the R4 OB, R6 OB and R8 OB); with a choice of single, twin or triple Yamaha outboard engines.

The Cobalt Outboard class is specifically engineered to deliver the smooth, stand-out Cobalt ride, while providing the efficiency, ease of maintenance and lower cost of ownership that comes standard with outboard propulsion.
