Review Posted 12/16/2020
I originally bought this same motor this spring, but without an electric start or power tilt. I was going to keep it simple. Well, my motor, which was going to last me the rest of my life, was ruined when I was rear-ended on the way back from the lake.
So, I was given a second chance to make a choice. After weighing all the other brands, I decided to go with the same motor but with the electric upgrades. They really do make life simpler. I am actually glad I got a second chance to make the right decision.
No more second-guessing. Hopefully, this is the motor that will last my lifetime.

Had Trouble Right Out Of The Box

Review Posted 07/13/2017
There were two issues with my purchase. First the water pump was shelled out straight out of the box. It was repaired at no cost to me, which was only fair on a new motor. Second I ordered a short shaft motor and was sent a long shaft motor. I had to purchase a transom extension to make it work. I own several Honda powered pieces of equipment and stand behind their motors. Just would have been a better experience if the water pump would have been right and the shaft would have been the right length.

Very Satisfied With The Honda Outboard Motor

Review Posted 06/26/2017
Bought this motor to re power a '86 14ft Lund pro pike. It does the job may, need a little better prop. Needs just a little more to get to plane a little quicker. Once planed out, performs like the old merc it replaced, but has all of the features that the old one never had.
