I just got and installed new Zincs on my Honda 150s. The factory parts are way out there price wise.
I found BoatZincs.com to be quick and reasonable. The BF-150 takes 3 Zincs, one large bar and 2 wedge shaped. The cost was $ 35.20 per engine plus shipping from MA. No markup on shipping. The quality was very nice.

Just a FYI for the my Brat buddies. Very Happy

Roger,

Thanks for the tip. Mine are starting to look a little "ratty".

After today I will have time to do things other than work. Just sorry we will not be able to join you next week.

Merv

I got a set of Honda zincs from those guys. Before you order, just be aware those are Chinese zincs. Imported by a Canadian company. My engine cost 10 grand, and I don't know how much zinc the Chinese put into those things.

For genuine Honda parts at some discount, try these guys: Honda Outboard Parts . Call them on the telephone, tell them what you want and they'll have the latest part variation. Good for all Honda parts.

Good info Boris. I found the Canadian distributor who claims the Reliance Zincs meet mil specs.
