Default 50HP Honda Outboard (2005)

Gentlemen,

I have a question in regards to a 50HP (2005) Honda Outboard Motor I am thinking of buying.

1. Over all is this a reliable motor to purchase for saltwater use?

2. The seller is selling it with-out the control? I take that to mean the throttle, gear cables and so on correct?

3. What is the cost (more or less) of the control for that motor?

4. Should I buy this motor or look for another?

Thanks for you professional imput guy's,
Snookhawg

I have only had my new BF50 in saltwater use for about 4 months and love it. I'll leave a longer term owners to reply on long term perspective.

Recent research would peg NEW sidemount control box, t/t,elect start and cables/harness at about $300-$325.
Alternative Console top mount binnacle would run about $210 including the cable/steering cables. Then you would need the remote ignition harness and that probably adds another $150?

Good luck.

Default Thank you for your answer

Thank you for your answer and hopfully someone that has used the motor in salt water will respond.

So over all you really like the motor then, great, I can buy this one for only $1,500 so having heard from you I guess I will.

Kind regards,
