Definition
Located on or attached to the outside of a boat's hull, especially referring to a detachable motor.
Etymology
Nautical compound from 'out' meaning 'outside' and 'board' meaning the side of a ship. Originally described anything positioned outside the vessel's main structure.
Kelly Says
The genius of the outboard motor is its removability - unlike inboard engines built into the hull, outboard motors can be lifted off for maintenance, storage, or theft prevention. This simple design innovation revolutionized small-boat transportation and made boating accessible to millions!
