As opposed to an outboard motor, where an engine is mounted outside the hull of the craft, an inboard motor is an engine enclosed within the hull of the boat, usually connected to a propulsion screw by a driveshaft. Marine diesel engines used in international shipping are the largest, most powerful engines ever produced. [1]

2024年6月21日 · Inboard engines are usually 4-stroke automotive engines that have been modified to be used in a boat. The engine is mounted in the hull forward of the stern of the boat and is connected to a shaft that drives the propeller. On fully inboard boats, the propeller is also underneath the boat rather than protruding from the transom and does not ...

2016年1月6日 · Simply put, inboard engines are those that reside inside the hull of a boat. But here’s where things often get confusing: straight-shaft drives are commonly just called “inboards” by most people, yet stern drives and pod drives, which are all radically different propulsion systems, are technically also inboards.

An inboard is a four-stroke automotive engine adapted for marine use. Inboard engines are mounted inside the hull’s midsection or in front of the transom. The engine turns a drive shaft that runs through the bottom of the hull and is attached to a propeller at the other end.

2021年6月4日 · Unlike outboard engines, which are mounted on the outside of a boat (usually at the stern), inboard engines are installed inside the hull, either in the bilge or in an engine room for larger vessels. While outboard engines are used to power and steer the boat, inboard engines require one or more rudders for steering, located behind the ...
