Editing Outboard motor (section)

===Portable===
Small outboard motors, up to {{convert|15|hp}} or so, are easily portable. They are affixed to the boat via clamps and thus easily moved from boat to boat. These motors typically use a manual [[start system]], with [[throttle]] and gearshift controls mounted on the body of the motor, and a [[tiller]] for steering. The smallest of these weigh as little as {{convert|12|kg}}, have integral fuel tanks, and provide sufficient power to move a small dinghy at around {{convert|8|kn|km/h mph}}
This type of motor is typically used:
* to power small craft such as [[jon boats]], [[dinghies]], [[canoes]], etc
* to provide auxiliary power for [[sailboats]]
* for [[Trolling (fishing)|trolling]] aboard larger craft, as small outboards are typically more efficient at trolling speeds. In this application, the motor is frequently installed on the transom alongside and connected to the primary outboard to enable helm steering. In addition many small motor manufacturers have begun offering variants with power trim/tilt and electric starting functions so that they may be completely controlled remotely
