Shipping Outboard Motors Made Easy and Affordable

How Do You Prepare Outboard Motors for LTL Shipping?
You save money with LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping because your shipment shares the truck with loads from other shippers. Your cargo must be packaged so it will not be damaged in transit and will not present a danger to other shipments on the truck. Package your outboard motor in a crate for the highest level of protection.
What is the NMFC (Freight Class) for Shipping Outboard Motors?
The freight class for shipping an outboard motor is 85. That classification will come in handy when you complete the online quote form. To check the freight class of other items, you need to ship, check out our Freight Class Lookup table.
