The outboard motor as catalyst for recreational boating
From inflatable boat and traditional motorboat to sailing yacht with auxiliary motor: the smaller types of vessel on rivers and lakes and in coastal waters have given rise to an amazing diversity of outboard motors. These propulsion systems are typically attached externally to the stern of the vessel. They are used not only for propulsion, but, by changing the orientation of the motor, they can also be used to steer the vessel. In contrast to inboard engines, outboard motors can be quickly detached from the vessel and transported with relative ease. Also available on the market are large, very powerful outboard motors, even for propelling racing boats.
Although the market is now dominated by US and Asian manufacturers, the original outboard concept is attributed to the Frenchman Gustave Trouvé, who filed a patent for an electric outboard motor in 1880. In 1907 the Swedish brothers Alrik and Oscar Hult founded the Archimedes Company, which, after a succession of mergers, became the well-known supplier of marine engines Volvo Penta. The American Ole Evinrude was already mass producing his motors in 1910. Although Evinrude merged with the other legendary American brand Johnson in 1936, both names remained in the market. In more recent times, the German manufacturer Torqeedo has become the world’s leading supplier of electric outboard motors.
