Honda's biggest drawback has been there weight. They have been the heaviest outboards because instead of following yamaha's lead and using motorcycle based engine designs, they went and used engines based on there automotive designs. My 75hp I had on my last skiff was a straight up carbed version of a 1.6l Honda civic engine that made 75hp in the civic. So for a 75hp outboard, it weighed as much as a 200hp 2 stroke mercury did at a shade over 400 pounds. And then theres the corrosion issues. Coupled with no dealer network really put them as an after thought.
