Small, lightweight, powerful and easy to use. What more do you want. Use it as an emergency engine for just under 6m cabin cruiser

The engine starts immediately. Gasoline consumption almost impossible to measure. Somewhat loud in the full load range.

Looks cheap but works well
A lot of plastic and very few refinements. That's what you get when you're looking for simplicity, lightweight and cost-efficiency. But no complaint so far.

Excellent product. Just because of the centrifugal clutch the engine does not drive the propeller at idle. A little learning is necessary.

Very good product, I had already bought one three years ago, but I sold my boat with this Honda. My new boat had a Honda 2.3 hp of several years but I had trouble getting started. So I bought a new one. Watch the fuel tank rust after two to three years. Ashamed for a Honda. It's a 4-stroke with a couple interested, and especially when you're on the beach to join the sailboat at anchor, just turn it on with the propeller that turns and a throttle and the Annex is part. Principle of the moped. A little noisy but we do not pay attention anymore.

The product is very good, thank you for the notice in French. The delivery and 'packing was perfect. The delivery time is very short. On the other hand the payment by card was more than constraining because it had to go through a bank transfer. Deutsche Bank is driving Europe but not my bank account !!!!

The engine is good, however, probably due to the air cooling is quite loud.Schade is, which was not the necessary for the initial operation oil quantity. Otherwise everything was packed well and quickly dispatched.

Small engine light and simple, a little noisy with use. Suitable for short periods of use (sailboat engine related to me). The lightness is due to the presence of many plastics, like the propeller for example. Power quite right. \ R \ n

I do not like it
The centrifugal clutch is terrible. When driving slowly, you never know when the propeller will start turning or when it will stop. Start with a little too much gas and the dinghy will shoot off.
When you pull on the starter cord, the cord handle often snaps back with so much force that there is a risk of injury.
If you forget to close the fuel tap immediately after or shortly before switching off, the engine will not start.
The engine is loud because of the air cooling. But it has the advantage that you can let the engine run hanging on the railing before the winter break until all the fuel has been used up.
Like all engines with a built-in tank, this one does not have a window in the hood through which you can check the fuel level from the outside.

Significant corrosion after one year of use
This engine seems attractive for its simplified maintenance, but many (none?) parts are not made of stainless steel and are subject to severe corrosion in maritime use. After a year of use, the screws are corroded, the carburetor bowl must be replaced (bordering on perforation by rust), the starter had to be replaced as a whole for a worn ratchet... I strongly advise against this engine if you use it regularly and/or if you use it in a saline environment. It should be reserved for freshwater navigation and occasional use.

Broken plastic casing when opening the package
When unpacking I found that the plastic casings of the motor base are broken. On the site in the return section he only talks about the retraction not returns. For the moment it is Saturday no call can be made it is closed Saturday and Sunday to try to have a tip for the return. Packaging did not predict this problem
