All boats 14 and over, all boats less than 14 with a permanently fixed mechanical means of propulsion of more than 10 horsepower (ex. jet skis), and all outboard motors 10 horsepower and over are required to be titled in Ohio. Canoes and kayaks are not titled in Ohio regardless of how long they are. They are only registered. Boats and outboard motors are titled separately. Inboard motors appear on the same title as the boat they are attached to. MOTOR DEFINITIONS Inboard Motor Definition: The engine is permanently installed in the boat. Only one title is issued including both the boat and motor information. Outboard Motor Definition: This engine is not considered to be part of the boat. The engine is mounted to the boat, but can be removed at any time. Any outboard motor that is 10 horsepower or more will be issued its own title. Inboard/Outboard (I/O) Definition: This engine is permanently installed in the boat. The out-drive propeller is permanently attached to the boat.
