The Honda 40 that quit on E&B's Halcyon had ~2100 hours. Here is a link to the discussion of the motor's demise.

Hammerhead-

Not to worry!!

1. Take the props off and put them back on in reverse direction fore and aft.

2. Reverse the battery terminals so the DC starting motor will turn backwards and start the motor in reverse rotation.

3. Watch the hour meter run back down to zero thus giving you totally new motors.

4. Repeat as necessary!

Works better with outdated Honda motors as opposed to modern motors such as Yamaha, Suzuki, Evinrude e-techs, etc.


Damn these winter days are long and boring!

Joe.
