A detailed look at servecing an outboard motor at home. Oil change, Gear oil, Spark Plugs, Prop Removal, Fuel Filter. Honda BF50 and other mid range outboards
Excellent tutorial with incredible detail. I just inherited a 10 year old pontoon boat that I had the whole topside remodeled and had the Honda 50hp serviced too, but I have now moved it closer to where I live and wanted to maintain it myself as much as possible. It's been years since I've had a boat and videos like this give me confidence that with proper service this pontoon will give my family years of pleasure. Thank you !!
Very usefull video. Great filming and you explained it short and precisely - very professional, thank you! Do you have a video of replacing imppellers on a honda 4 stroke engine. I have a Honda BF50A and i cant find anything.
Try Lucas ethanol fuel conditioner with stabilizers. I've used it for years. I've never had an issue as long as I added it to my fuel. 1oz per 5 gallons.
Much appreciated 🙏, I have a 40hp and I am due for a good maintenance. Question: Is there a certain number of hours that should be maintained if the boat is used often??
There is a large socket that attaches to a 1/2in ratchet wrench to easily remove the filter.CHEERS from HERE! P.S. Ethanol free gas no longer available here on Van.Isle as of Oct 1st.except at lawn mower shop for $30.00 a gal.
Hi. Thank you for excellent tutorial as I am learning about maintenance for the first time. What about the tilt? Got my boat out on the water for first time without problems. Then, next time I went to take it out, the tilt didn’t work. I used metal brush to clean battery connections and checked on fluid and all seemed fine. Just trying to trouble shoot. The boat is an ‘84 Boston Whaler and not sure how old the Honda motor is, but I imagine its at least 10 years old. Any suggestions on tilt maintenance? Thanks.
Hi!. Could you tell me the info of your propeller?, my motor came with an aluminum one, and I want to replace it with an Inox, with a better pitch like yours...
Hello, great video. Very useful. Could you please tell me how much oil should be in the tailpiece? After a 50 hours of use, ours doesn't even get a liter left. Where does this go then? Everything is dry and clean.
If you were going to privately buy a used 2007 50 HP 4-stroke honda motor, what would you recommend having inspected or serviced prior purchasing? Planning to take it to local mechanic. Thanks!
I was wondering if you can help me. I just bought a 2006 pontoon boat that was always in freshwater but I will be using it for bay fishing in saltwater. It has the same year Honda 4 stroke on it. I do not see any flushing port on the outside of the motor. This boat will be docked after trips and there will be no way for me to reach the motor to put on muffs. Do you have anwser or solution? Thank you.
There’s a screw right behind the lower unit fill plug on the port side. It’s a factory flush out. You will need an adapter to hook your garden hose to it.
Hello, my name is Luiz Sander, I'm from Santa Catarina, Brazil. I recently bought a 2006 Honda BF50 engine, the entire inspection was carried out outside my boat, it worked perfectly, I did the installation now on my boat where it will be used, after everything was ready I went to start it and it didn't give any signal, nothing, as if it was something electrical or something, but it has power because the trim works, the engine goes up and down, but it doesn't start. Can you help me? Could you give any advice? thanks!
I have 40hp honda I had a problem with it every time I change the oil and problem is when I change the oil and the water goes in the oil what seems the problem with it it...thank
What kind of spark plugs? What kind of gear oil? What kind of engine oil? What kind of oil filter? What kind of fuel filter do you replace in the water separator? And where do you source all of these items?
Hi, first thanks for your videos, please could you let me know which propeller you are using on your Bf50. Has it worked? Did it make a difference? Thanks for your time.
