This was the most widely produced outboard from 1973-1998 in any size range. They have stayed with this basic design (some ignition and cosmetic changes) for 35 years.  For these reasons parts availability and serviceability is excellent. They have been a very strong performer.  They are a simple but strong design that people have had very few problems with. We found that the few failures with this class of outboards are due to fuel contamination or oil injection failure.

Benefits: You can expect low gas consumption with this outboard. It is very light weight (306lbs) compared to the newer 4 and 2 stroke units. As with all OMC products you will have excellent parts and service availability (They are Extremely popular).
