If you have one of these on your engine, it's "fresh water cooled", a not totally accurate
but commonly used term. It will be on a cylindrical (usually) tank oriented either vertically or horizontally, on the front, back or side of the engine.

Both can give you a headache but one will never have a headacheBoth are nice. One will eventually give you a headache.
Outboard motor!!
Inboard engine!!
What ticks me off is when some doofus says his "Motor won't crank over." To me (and sensible people) that means the starter won't spin her over, when the doofus is really saying the motor won't start up!

Yes....... (see post #3 again)Unless it is a trolling motor, it is an outboard engine.
I guess he was saying that his starter is not working.
I hear you on this one though, "Crank over" and "Start/fire" are two different things.
And if the member is in the UK, they call it "tick-over".

The lumberman asked one of them how long he wanted it.
With a somewhat perplexed look on his face, he turned to the other helper..... and then he turned back to the lumberman and said; "quite a while....... we're building a house!"
