AI outboard engine scanner identifying a Mercury engine from a photo

AI Engine Scanner

5,015 Engines. One Photo. Instant Match.

Our GPT-4o vision scanner cross-references your photo against 5,015 verified engine models from 41+ manufacturers. Make, model, horsepower, year range, stroke type, displacement — identified in seconds.

Or skip the camera entirely — use Voice-to-Listing and speak your details. The AI parses your description into structured fields. No typing, no forms.

See How the AI Scanner Works

How It Works

Three Steps. Two Minutes. Zero Hassle.

Step 01

Snap a Photo

Point your phone at the engine cowling. Our AI scanner identifies the make, model, horsepower, and approximate year — instantly.

Works with every brand: Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Evinrude, Johnson, Tohatsu, and more.

Step 02

Confirm & Publish

Review the AI-generated listing details. Add your price, location, and any extras. Your listing goes live in under 2 minutes.

No forms to fill out, no VIN lookups, no guessing horsepower from a serial number.

Step 03

Connect With Buyers

Verified buyers contact you directly by email or SMS. No middlemen, no marketplace commission, no tire-kickers.

Buyers who save searches get instant alerts when your engine matches their criteria.

Why Sell Here

Built for Marine Sellers. Not a General Classifieds Site.

GPT-4o vision identifies your outboard from a single photo. Cross-referenced against 5,015 verified engine specs. No manual data entry required.

Voice-to-Listing

Verified Buyers

Every buyer is verified before they can contact you. Fewer scams, fewer ghost inquiries, faster sales.
