Honda® Marine Engines

Honda®'s E-Spec technology means our outboard motors are in tune with nature, and with Environmental Protection Agency emission regulations.

Our four-strokes are so clean and efficient that all our engines exceed EPA standards for 2006.

And we're committed to staying ahead of our time, so most of our engines already have the highest CARB three-star rating for meeting the rigorous California Air Resources Board's standards for 2008.

Experience counts, and Honda® has sold four-stroke outboard motors in the U.S. for 30 years - beginning long before other manufacturers admitted their advantages. While two-stroke engines rely on gas or air to carry a thin oil film to critical components, our four-strokes bathe every internal component in oil under constant pressure. Ports in two-stroke cylinders and pistons accelerate piston and ring wear. But there are no intake and exhaust ports in a four-stroke cylinder or piston, so they can run with tighter tolerances for longer life.
