5.  Four-stroke outboards—None of these: Honda actually built its first four-stroke outboard, the GB30, in 1964; however, that model was sold only in Japan. It wasn't until 1974 that Honda started selling outboards here in the U.S. At that time, the company offered two motors: the 75 TWIN and 45 TWIN. The 75 TWIN as an SOHC in-line 2-cylinder engine that put out 7.5hp. It weighed 29 kg and displaced 149cc. By extension, the 45 TWIN was a horizontally-opposed 2-cylinder (both were liquid-cooled, by the way) engine that put out 4.5 hp and weighed 27 kg. The 45 TWIN displaced 126cc. 
 
6.  Side Imaging Sonar—2005; Humminbird 987c2 SI 
 
7.  Senko—None of these: The Senko’s introduction is hard to pinpoint, as the bait was being used long before it was widely available. Even officials at Yamamoto Bait Company, which created and still make the Senko, can only give us a ballpark estimate of the late 1990s. 
 
8.  Underwater Cameras—1997; Aqua Vu 
 
9.  Fluorocarbon—None of these: Fluorocarbon lines have been available for decades, but until recently, most were foreign made with limited availability in North America.
