arrived damaged. Either I have to send it back or they offer me a $100 credit. Guess that's what I get from ordering a motor online.

Honda Quality In A Little Package

Review Posted 09/21/2022
Just 3 hours into the break-in period. It starts fast and runs great. I have it on a Bass Hunter 120. Ran it in the little salt creek behind my house and it moves the boat well. Ran about 2 hours with me and 100 pounds of gear. Pushes the boat at about 3.5 mph at half throttle. Ran about an hour with my wife onboard and less gear so net added about 100 pounds. Still ran about the same speed. Very happy with the overall performance. The only thing that is a little tedious is the oil capacity and tolerable range. Seems like there is less than an ounce between operating range and exceeding max level.

This Is The Finest Outboard Line (Honda) On The Market Today.

Review Posted 05/05/2022
There are many competitors that cost significantly more that, in my opinion, do not meet the high standards of performance, engineering and aesthetics that are part of every Honda product. I have owned their cars, lawn mowers and now a small outboard motor: There are none better. Full stop.

Fantastic Small Outboard Motor
By Merle S.
Madison, Wisconsin
Purchased 03/08/2021 |
Review Posted 06/05/2021
Perfect for my 10 ft. inflatable boat. A dependable motor that is simple to use.
The only feature that I would like to see improved is the round window to visually inspect the oil level. It just could be my aging eyes, but I have difficulty seeing the oil level in the window. However, this should not deter anyone from purchasing this motor. You won't regret owning a Honda.

Very Happy w/ This Little Boat Motor
By Dennis A.
Ionia, Michigan
Purchased 04/26/2021 |
Review Posted 05/26/2021
Generally very happy with Honda boat motor. Only one disappointment. Nothing in the instructions told me that the engine would leak oil if the engine was lower than the prop. Found that out on my own while transporting down to the lake in a wheelbarrow. Pushed my 14-foot boat around the lake easily.

I ordered Monday, received it Wednesday, and was on the water Thursday. It runs well, and it's easy to install and start. I took one star off because the engine cover tends to pop off when I pull the cord. I have a sailboat, so it sits a little low, and I have to pull a little upwards, which causes the cover to come off.

I'd of given it a higher rating, but it's a real thumbs down when a $1000.00 bucks get you no neutral. You better be ready to roll as soon as you pull the cord, or that boat is leaving without you.

Troll All Day On One Tank Of Gas
By Jeff H.

Review Posted 04/20/2021
I’ve been running these Honda 2.3 motors for years, and they are unstoppable. I only run 100% gasoline, ethanol-free, airplane fuel in my Honda 2.3’s. I always check engine oil and change the oil every year. I’ve never had any problems, with hundreds of native brook trout and lake trout caught and slapped in the frying pan, I highly recommend these motors.
