Our recent shopping ended up with a toss-up between the Tohatsu and Suzuki. Electric start, remote steering, power tilt, and short shaft in our case. 9.9/15/20-hp version all on the same platform. Similar weights, but IIRC the Tohatsu is very slightly lighter.
Suzuki is what our local dealer could make available; he was having issues with getting Tohatsu in stock. So we went with the Suzuki DF20T. Haven't taken delivery yet. Apparently Suzuki just increased their warranty...
Previous outboard was the Suzuki DF15A, electric start, tiller steer, no power tilt... worked pretty well... always started like a champ... ran quiet... and I especially appreciated the EFI... so that's why I ended up with Suzuki and Tohatsu this time.
Very coincidentally: We've had several other Suzuki products, and all worked well. One was an 850-hp shaft-driven bike back in the late '70s. Another was an SJ-410 "mini-jeep" when we lived in Germany in the early-'80s. Then we also had a Johnson-badged 2-stroke 5-hp outboard made by Suzuki; that was my least favorite but it was all about the tiny carb and the ethanol I think. Ran like a champ... when the fuel permitted.
Didn't find any change in Yamaha or Honda, still carbureted as of when I was shopping several months ago.
