4-STROKE ADVANTAGE

Experience counts, and Honda has sold 4-stroke outboard motors in the U.S. for forty years, leading the way in 4-stroke technology. While 2-stroke engines rely on gas or air to carry a thin oil film to critical components, our 4-strokes bathe every internal component in oil under constant pressure. Ports in 2-stroke cylinders and pistons can accelerate piston and ring wear. Since there are no intake and exhaust ports in a 4-stroke cylinder or piston, they can operate with tighter tolerances for longer life.
