Mouth of the Neuse.

First successful trip.

The Honda shop is insisting that someone removed the lower unit (gearbox), reinstalled it and that it wasn't reinstalled properly. When I asked why the washers were out of place (no need to remove them to drop the lower unit) the Honda shop said it was done by someone who didn't know what they...

Regarding the Honda factory service manuals, I did find out that if one buys them direct from Honda Marine they include three years of updates free.

No, no damage. It's a brand new engine. I've spent a lot of time working on the boat since I bought it last winter and washed it the day before I put it in the water giving everything a good look over to find any problems. There was no external damage. I think it was just something not connected...

Does it cover the serial number range BBCJ-1000001 through 9999999? If so I'll take it!

No problem. I hadn't thought to check eBay prior to your post. The BF90D manual is available there too.

Yes, I noted that. I do need the "D" series manual. I'm still having no luck finding a Clymer or other manual for the newer Hondas. It looks like I'll have to pay the Honda price. It's a new Honda 90 that had one tenth of an hour on the meter when I launched it for the first time a couple of...

Given my recent engine problems on my first outing I'm in the market for a Honda BF90D shop manual. I'd planned on getting one eventually but now it seems sooner is better than later. I've seen the official Honda manual advertised at helminc.com for a bit over $90...

I use two plugs, a screw in bronze plug that screws in from the outside which gets snugged up with a wrench, and a rubber plug from the inside which gets tightened as much as my old fingers will tighten it. When the boat goes on the trailer both plugs come out.

What is odd is that the engine was run in December out of the water with the appropriate water supply. It was certainly in neutral then as I was looking at the prop when it was run and it was not turning. Since then it's been trailered from the west coast to the east coast but not run any more...

I settled for a sandwich and a soda but both were pretty good.

After working on my new boat for the last few months I was finally ready for my first cruise. On Saturday I drove a few hundred miles toward the coast and spent the weekend visiting my mother. On Monday it was on to Oriental to launch for three days and two nights on the water, plenty of time to...

The culprit?

My view for the night.

I finally got around to finishing the stove installation today. Hooking up the exhaust, fuel lines, and electrical components was a pain in neck as the area was a bit tight to work in. I think I donated about a half pint of blood from the various scratches and scrapes to my forearms and hands...

Tight area to work in.

All finished.
