Looking to buy a used 2-stroke outboard? Check compression first—it should be even across cylinders. Inspect for corrosion, leaks, and worn seals. Ask about maintenance history and if it was flushed after saltwater use. Test it running to check for smooth idling and throttle response. Beware of excessive smoke or unusual noises. Older models may have parts scarcity, so research availability. Negotiate based on condition and hours. A well-maintained 2-stroke can be a reliable, powerful choice for your boat!
