I Compared Old vs New Outboards Using Repair Data — The Results Were Embarrassing

New outboards are more expensive, more complex, and more computerized than ever. So why are so many of them failing earlier than engines built 20 or 30 years ago?

In this video, I analyzed real repair data from independent marine shops across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Over 4,200 repair records. No brand sponsorships. No dealer spin.

The results were uncomfortable.

Older mechanical outboards lasted longer between failures, cost far less to repair, and could be fixed almost anywhere. Modern digital engines broke more often, required dealer-only diagnostics, and left owners waiting weeks for parts.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s data.

If you own a boat—or you’re thinking about buying one—this breakdown could save you thousands of dollars and years of frustration.
