What Vectorfisher said. With any engine but especially I/Os you want to make sure you do a good fresh water flush after each use. I know many ride their boats hard on put 'em away wet and I did the same but I would always flush the engine out first.
Some advantages with I/O: Generally cheaper when you need to replace something. Repowering is more component based then an outboard - new/reman engine for a 135 I/O is probably less than 2K
Disadvantages like corrosion, sometimes more space taken up inside the boat...
