Any reason why I shouldn't run my Honda 9.9 off of the main fuel tanks for the main motor (Honda 2021 BF100A). Currently I have to run the kicker off a separate 6 gallon tank, and dump out un-used as at the end of each season. Could I tap into the 2nd port (unused) in the back of the water...

I started getting the maintenance alarm awhile ago on my 2021 Honda BF100. The motor was put on about a year before I bought the boat, so I don't know the maintenance history. It now has 174 hours and I've owned it for a few years. I think the alarm started going off at 150hrs but I've ignored...

I was just thinking... If I put my charger on one of the batteries, and then set the Perko switch to "all" (both batteries).. will I be charging both at the same time!? If so, is it ok to do this?

Hi, My shop is full.. So I'm looking for free (or very cheap) use of a dry garage space to do some work on a 16' Angler this fall/winter and would love to trade my expertise with fix-ups and repairs with someone who wants to learn. Preferably heater or at least with power (I'd pay the utils)...

I discovered that I’m not using my trolling motor (w/Steering rod ) because I don’t like the throttle control being at the transom while everything else is in the cabin. And I usually go out solo .. But I wish I was using the trolley motor more often.. Does anyone recommend a throttle control...

Honda BF40 lower unit has a flush port screw near the oil screw. But I can't get it to open. I tried a very large screwdriver, both flathead and #3 Phillips. The flat head slips due to wear and tear on the screw slot. The phillips stays in place, but still won't open the screw. Even a #3...

I was able to find a used version of the upgraded lower unit design for my 1998 Honda BF40. I got it all put together and went for a test drive today. There is a noise I never heard before, kind of a "whirring/ringing" sound that occurs between about 2000-2700 RPM. With the motor in neutral, I...

I've always wondered... I can get a Sierra impeller for 1/3 the cost of the same impeller from Honda. Is Honda all mark-up, or is it really better quality? Is Sierra made from lesser quality materials/tolerances? Or just as good?

I've found a used replacement lower unit I'm considering buying (40hp Honda). The paint is worn off at the tip of the skeg, and underneath is a dark color that looks like primer. The seller says a part of the skeg the size of a silver dollar was chipped of, but welded and repaired. Any reason...

Hi, I have a Honda 1998 BF40A that needs a new lower unit. Unfortunately the part numbers I find on the internet are more complicated than what's actually on my motor! My motor just says: Serial# BAYL-2000958 However, Boats.net lists the following BF40AW LHA VIN# BAYL-2000001 to...

On a 16' cruiser, I lost the slant-back cockpit cover. I am wondering how to replace this? And even if someone has a "pattern", what about the button locations? The male stud part of the buttons from the previous cover are already installed on the boat, so how would the mating socket buttons...

Does anymore have experience ordering Honda Outboards parts from https://www.hondapartshouse.com ? If so, are they reliable/trustworthy?

I'm getting new all-terrian tires for my tow vehicle (FJ Cruiser), for hauling my 22Angler. They are available in load range SL (Standard load) or load range C or E.. If I wasn't towing, I'd go with the SL's as they are lighter and give a smoother ride, better braking, etc. Is it recommended...

I have a crack in the housing around the propeller shaft. The first question is: Does anyone know how/why this happens? The second question, where do I find an affordable replacement (used?).

I did a dumb thing. I had the cockpit cover snapped onto my cruiser while towing. I figured (a) it keeps everything inside (b) keep the rain, wind and dirt out (c) theft deterrent and (d) better aerodynamics.. That worked fine for the first day. Then it got hot the next day. Heat = looser and...

I just towed my 16' Cruiser down to my 2nd home in Escalante, UT. Plan to go explore Lake Powell sometime between now and Mid-October. I heard the level was up enough to launch this year, but the drought is still the dominant long-term pattern in the region. So, I figure this is a good time to...

Who new a boat could have a suspension!?! It's so cool. As soon as the hull starts to bang, it's just enough vibration to make the throttle level "throttle back" a hair, which slows the boat down just enough to not bang anymore! Then I get the most speed possible while still having a relatively...

So my navigation lights only seem to come on when the motor is running. With the motor off, and they key in the "on" position, I get power to the dash, etc, but no Nav lighs until I actually turn the key fully clockwise and start and run the motor. Is that how it's supposed to be? For...

Hi, There are two big tanks in the back of my 22', and one electronic gauge on the dash that only reads the "total " amount of gas. I like to know how much is in each individual tank. Is there an easy way to get gauges on each tank? Mechanical or otherwise?

I wasn't sure if this was a "general" or "safety" topic. I went with safety, because I personally don't feel safe going on a boating adventure without at least some basic tools. Here's my question: I got a "Mariners Tool Set" (Brand: GreatNeck). I'm pretty happy with it, except it's SAE (no...
