All New Honda 350 Hp Outboard ! A Quiet Beast !

Welcome to the Annapolis boat show. My name is Alfred Montaner. We ride on the brand new Honda 350 horsepower outboard engine.

I’ve had over 10 Honda outboards in my rental fleet over the last 25 years with nearly zero problems. Occasionally starter issues cuz the customers try to start the engine while it’s already running cuz they’re that quiet at idle. I’m at over 40,000 combined hours with my Hondas.

A harmonic balancer isn’t to balance the engines rotating assembly it’s to dampen the detonation events during combustion…

[@bankfishingislife5484]

outboards are like cars and motorcycles.. just way overpriced.. sadly.

[@clevelandbrowns3325]

I buy Honda everything. Cars, generator, pumps, power washer. The reliability is off the charts.I would expect the same with their marine division products.

[@Trident-dy9fx]

MSRP on this motor is between $33 and $35k depending on shaft length and color. It was designed and built 100% by Honda and contrary to what someone else wrote earlier, all of Honda’s outboards are built by Honda and not by other companies.

I worked as a marine mechanic for one summer. The owner of the company got some kind of kick back for purchasing six brand new Mercury Outboards to replace his aging, yet well running Yamahas and Hondas. After less than two months into service 2/3 of the Mercury motors were broken down and failed to start. He pulled each one after that began and reinstalled the old Yamaha and Honda motors. Nuff said !!

Mercury outboard has been building big outboards for a long time and are good motors but if I was putting life on the line I would trust honda equipment over anyone else's I don't know what they do but they do it great in pretty much everything they make

[@weeds5636]

looked slow out of the hole and possibly mounted too deep - hell of a lot of spray at lower speeds

[@polishchachafishing]

Is it me ? Or do the white on the boats seem to be getting brighter!? I have learned from Alfred’s videos that the white isn’t exactly the best for your eyes in the bright sun. Scout makes that consideration in their colors. But dang! These whites look good too😂

[@tonyv9712]

I have Yamaha's F200 and no issue whatsoever, but i wouldn't mind giving Honda a try. I'm no brand loyalty because what does it do. I just want reliability so I'm not stuck offshore.

[@davidbennett7299]

Love Hondas. Mine is 19 years old, fires up first time all the time. I've never had any issues..

[@davidradke5170]

Had a 130 for 20 years, best outboard ever made, not one issue

[@lovethedogsNC]

It is never good for other manufacturers when Honda comes to play but it is good for us!!!

[@teresacastro8899]

LOVE THE BOATS,MR.ALFRED!!

[@toddgorski7854]

Sounds like it has a lot of torque, Alfred!

[@m1ndphaser]

such a satisfying grumbly purr. so nice and smooth.

[@RadDadisRad]

Interesting. Honda is reliable as can be. I’d be curious to see one of these opened up. I want to see the internal balancing that they use. Can tell it’s really smooth because normally the power head shakes a little at idle.

[@1789ep]

Sounds fantastic.

[@shaynelhta]

honestly it sounds great.

[@dive2deepocean115]

Nice man nice
