Honda plastic deck
I have had a Honda with "plastic" deck for 10 years.
I live on the Gulf Coast - a lot of salt water in the area.
In fact - my house is about 100 yards from Pensacola Bay.
I had a Toro, with a metal deck, that lasted about 10 years, until the deck rusted out. The engine was running fine, but the deck broke where you had to put your foot to hold it down to start.
When I got the Honda, I was hesitant about the "plastic" deck - but after 10 years on the Coast - with plenty of salty moisture in the atmosphere - I am convinced it was the way to go!
Don't worry about it lasting - I will have to replace the rear tires (worn down to "slicks" from powering the machine) long before I have to worry about the deck.
Thanks,
Jim
