[QUOTE="steam_mill, post: 205064, member: 4432"] I don't have experience directly with Honda outboards, but what I've heard is that they are reliable motors. However, they have a few shortcomings: 1. They are heavy in comparison to other manufacturers. 2. They don't seem to have the same performance when compared to the same horsepower of other manufacturers. This could be the fact that they are heavier. Although, I think they may have less torque. 3. They are expensive to repair. Not a very big dealer network. In fact, one of my neighbours is a honda/sea do dealer. Honda for ATV's and power equipment. He stopped carrying Hondas for outboards a few years ago for the above reasons. Having said that, it's really about your own experience. [/QUOTE]
