You just have to love that good old dry exhaust corrosion that Yamaha is standing behind.

Local wisdom says the Honda is overpriced and plagued with corrosion issues for salt water engines.

I don't know about that, but I will attest that my Honda 9.9 hp 4 stroke of a few years back is a beast to start. However my pressure washer and my lawn mower are both Honda powered and usually start on the first pull... so who the hell knows...

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.

Honda's are the heaviest outboards out there when new, after one season in salt, they are the lightest
