How is everyone liking their Honda?

Not happy at all Keep doing O2 Sensors and wondering if the crankshaft thrust washers will kill my engines.
Given the overall cost of running a boat, the fairly low cost of an O2 sensor (compared to a high pressure fuel filter for example) isn't too bad now.

And I really like my '07 BF225, wish it had NMEA output but hey...
(this is my first and only outboard though, so I don't have anything to compare it to!)

Mate, don't stress over thrust washers, it's not that common, more relevant on commercial engines with unusually high number of starts. I look after a lot of these motors and I've only come across one which had water in the oil aswell.As far as O2 sensors go, try tilting your motors before shut down, it does help. I know they are a pain.
 
Trim enough to get the idle bypass well above the water. This action helps prevent steam and water affecting the sensor. It does help extend the life of these sensors
