Proper seasonal maintenance not only protects the propeller itself but also helps prevent hidden damage to the propeller shaft, gearbox, and seals. Whether you use an aluminum or stainless steel propeller, spending a short amount of time on inspection and maintenance before storage can reduce unexpected failures, improve performance next season, and extend the service life of your outboard motor. This guide explains exactly what to inspect, clean, reparieren, and prepare before storing your ...

Runtime changes with the amount of usable fuel, generator load, fuel-specific rated output, tank or cylinder size, ambient temperature, and the way fuel is replenished. With the same liquid volume and a comparable electrical load, gasoline will generally support a longer run because it contains more energy per gallon. The U.S. Energy Information Administration lists motor gasoline at about 120,214 Btu per gallon and propane at about 91,452 Btu per gallon. A larger propane cylinder or bulk ...
