all outboards suck IMO. I don't care who makes them I don't trust any of them. These are the most unreliable costly machines made today. As an engineer I think the whole problem is they are trying to sqeeze too much power per weight. Think about it...these engines are built of Aluminum!?! How long can it run in salt water?

What do you thing the MTBF is on an outboard?...(mean time between failure) Ever wonder why they don't post a number like that? Because if you saw it you would never go boating. Personally I would love to see a number like that posted by JDPowers on all these motors...IMO it would be a great way to compare them. I asked my dealer what it was and they looked at me like my puppy when I ask him a question.

These reviews you read in the magizines are worthless. Have you ever read a bad one?
