"What is that sharp rotating thing down there". When shown to a Honda motorcycle mechanic it was a case of "Same Stuff, Different Colour and has no chain". "MECHANICS NIGHTMARE" was the reputation that sadly prevailed.Īs different type Honda product dealers never talked to each other it took a while for Outboard techs to get an understanding of the basic concept of "A Japanese water-cooled, OHC, inline twin, engine plonked on a leg".

I remember when they first came on the scene down-under………even Honda marine dealers had problems with these let alone just a service and repair "Boat Shop"…………they were totally different to anything an outboard tech was trained in/on or for. They are actually very nice and reliable kit.
