They say ppl drive on average around 13,000 miles a year. What would be the average hours per year put on a motor?

I've put 60 hours on mine since November 1st. I think I'm a little above average though.

If you are willing to drive north we average about 30 hours a year.

I put about 50 to 70. And 80% of that is looking at the graph.

Ya i'm sure it differs from person to person! Weekend worrier to serious tournament/guides. I bet around 50% or more of the hours are idling and graphing right?

I have wondered what the average amount of hours on the motor are for weekend Anglers. Interesting question since I was asked that exact question yesterday!

people put way to much into hours on a outboard motor. it all about how it was maintained and ran. many people blow up power heads and such with little hours and some run over 1000 hours with out any problem. if you take care of an outboard motor it will last a lifetime and more.

Believe it or not us bassboat guys are pretty easy about putting hours on our boat. My brother-in-law has a wake board boat and he puts on 5 times the hours on his motor and I get my boat out much more than he does.
That said, I'm putting more hours on now with si--I'm guessing about 30 percent more.
I average about 80 a year.
