MY RECOMMENDATION - "DON'T BUY IT"
We've been using this outboard for a few days now and honestly I would rather return it! ☹️ why? because of the centrifugal clutch. I don't like it. you can't give the engine a few revs to warm it up. if you do the clutch engages and the prop starts to spin. SO YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL!
also a number of times it simply has just conked out on me for no reason at all.
THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON ALMOST EVERY SECOND TRIP
The other negative is that there's no tilt support, it's either up or down. so let's say it's shallow and you want to tilt the motor up slightly you can't support it, give it a rev and the engine will just slam down.
Sure its light weight and that's great but I would much prefer a forward and a neutral gear it just gives you more control.

The Honda 2.3hp is a light weight, compact small outboard motor that's suitable for boat sizes of 12ft and less. it's perfect for a yacht tender or small fishing boat. it won't go fast but it's easy to use given its light weight and integrated fuel tank. you can leave it in the back of your vehicle and wack it on the back of your boat and be boating within minutes.
it's also air cooled meaning it doesn't need to be flushed with fresh water after use in fact you can run it dry, something that other outboards of similar sizes can't do.
Join us as we explore its compact design, fuel efficiency, and the incredible power it brings to your boating adventures. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a weekend water enthusiast, this review will guide you through the features and benefits that make this outboard engine a game-changer. Don't miss out - hit play and set sail with Honda excellence! ⚓🚤 #HondaOutboard #BoatEngineReview #MarineAdventure.

local honda outboard service would not work on bearing clutch. he said it was too labor intensive and not worth it. he told me too throw it out and but a new motor for about $1000. worked on it myself found out the bearing was rusted all i did was soak the bearing with jd blaster and now it works. free of charge.
I have that same engine. Two tips: start the engine with the throttle set just above idle. It will start in “neutral” that way. If you run at half throttle you will get 2 hours of run time but only lose about 20% speed
Agree 💯
I had one about 10 years ago it was a great little motor for a few years and then it wasn't. The tin tappet cover rusted out when I went to investigate two of nuts deep in the bottom cowl were to rusted to remove i threw it under the boat for later investigation it got stolen which solved the problem. Not all the nuts were non stainless so if you have one replace all suspect one's
well i love mine best small outbord ever, perfect 4 what i need - though i agree some of the bolts will rust but they dont stuck. If you need revers turn it 180 or you got too big a boat for the tiny engine. even have the same boat
Go Dani and Pete !! ❤
For a start, your title is very misleading. I would not recommend, I have ran the same engine for 8 years and its a brilliant reliable wee outboard Yes it is a bit different to other outboards with the clutch system but you get use to it, but if you are going to put up misleading titles in your videos because it comes across as you dont Recommend the engine when really thats not the case, then you have lost a possible sub from me friend nobody likes click bait enjoy your weekend
Actually I don't recommend it. I think it's rubbish, it's cheap in price but also build quality. Mine has been back to supplier for over 2 weeks. Also the centrifugal clutch is a silly idea, it's difficult to use and more importantly dangerous. We will be reselling ours once we sort out why it takes 40 pulls to starts and stops.
You may have laid it on the wrong side that will bring oil and fuel to the top and choke the carb.🐊Cheers@@Reefknotsailing
Bought one for the lake. Pushes a 12ft tinny only criticism not Honda quality it's made in China
We think the quality is rubbish, engine cover already shows significant damage and the other is the compression kickback is dangerous. And I can't stand the centrifugal clutch
Yes will be handled with kid gloves very gently and carefully LoL
too loud
😒 'promosm'
Very noisy
That motor is far from being straight
